The temporal segmentation of a video into shots is a fundamental prerequisite for video retrieval. There are two types of shot boundaries: abrupt shot changes (“cuts”) and grad...
In this paper we extend a previous definition of gradual dependence as a special kind of (crisp) association rule, in order to measure not only the existence of a tendency, but i...
Functional laws may be known only at a finite number of points, and then the function can be completed by interpolation techniques obeying some smoothness conditions. We rather pr...
In advanced heterogeneous telecommunication networks, network resources can dynamically dictate the type of speech coding that is used. An increase in resources allows for lower c...
