We propose a new DCT-based energy function EDCT for objectoriented segmentation and compression. By minimizing EDCT the best possible split of the image blocks can be found which ...
As most of MPEG and JPEG compression standards are DCT-based, we propose a simple, low-cost and fast algorithm to extract dominant colour features directly in DCT domain without i...
A novel algorithm is described for coding objects in video compression systems which gives complete control over the bit allocation to the video objects. The method is evaluated b...
The compression of still images by means of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), adopted in the JPEG-2000 and MPEG-4 standards, is becoming more and more widespread because it yie...
In this paper, we present two novel disk failure recovery methods that utilize the inherent characteristics of video streams for efficient recovery. Whereas the first method explo...
