This paper presents a novel face-assisted video coding scheme to enhance the visual quality of the face regions in video telephony applications. A skin-color based face detection ...
This paper addresses the problem of improving the quality performance of synthetic video sequences by means of standard frame? based coders. The proposed technique can exploit bot...
The goal of the DARPA MADCAT (Multilingual Automatic Document Classification Analysis and Translation) Program is to automatically convert foreign language text images into Englis...
The recent advances in non-scalable video encoding brought by the H.264/AVC standard offered significant improvements in terms of rate-distortion performance. This paper proposes ...
Motion estimation represents the most computationally intensive task for all efficient motion compensated compression standards. This fact, despite the several eflorts aiming at r...
