—Many important audio coding applications, such as streaming and playback of stored audio, involve offline compression. In such scenarios, encoding delays no longer represent a ...
In this paper, we present a fast and optimal method for the lossy encoding of object boundaries which are given as 8-connect chain codes. We approximate the boundary by a polygon ...

We consider the problem of estimating and encoding depth maps from multiple views in the context of 3D-TV with free-viewpoint rendering. We propose a novel codec based on the Rate...
The fact that audio compression for streaming or storage is usually performed offline alleviates traditional constraints on encoding delay. We propose a rate-distortion optimized...
