Image Reconstruction using the Benford Law
It has been claimed that the first digit of real signals follows a logarithmic distribution, called Benford law. This paper shows that this distribution is a natural prior for the...

3D Target Scale Estimation for Size Preserving in PTZ Video Tracking
In size preserving video tracking, the camera's focal length (zoom) is adjusted automatically to compensate for the changes in the target's image size caused by the rela...

Active Contour Segmentation with a Parametric Shape Prior: Link with the Shape Gradient
Active contours are adapted to image segmentation by energy minimization. The energies often exhibit local minima, requiring regularization. Such an a priori can be expressed as a...

End-to-End Delay for Hierarchical B-Pictures and Pulsed Quality Dual Frame Video Coders
Real-time video applications require tight bounds on end-to-end delay. Hierarchical bi-directional prediction requires buffering frames in the encoder input buffer, thereby contri...
