Most recent class-level object recognition systems work with visual words, i.e., vector quantized local descriptors. In this paper we examine the feasibility of a dataindependent ...
Facial expression recognition has potential applications in different aspects of day-to-day life not yet realized due to absence of effective expression recognition techniques. Th...
Audio coding at low bitrates suffers from artifacts due to spectrum truncation. Typical audio codecs code multi-channel sources using transforms across the channels to remove redu...
This paper contains two contributions to very-low-bitrate video coding. First, we show that in contrast to common practice incremental techniques for rate-distortion optimization ...
Image content analysis has become an important issue in multimedia processing. Region-based image retrieval systems attempt to reduce the gap between high-level semantics and low-l...
