We propose an adaptive ltering approach for coding video that exhibits localized camera focus changes, e.g., such that different portions of a video frame can undergo different bl...

In this paper, we propose a Markov random field (MRF) image segmentation model which aims at combining color and texture features. The theoretical framework relies on Bayesian est...
Modern agent and mediator systems communicate to a multitude of Web information providers to better satisfy user requests. They use wrappers to extract relevant information from HT...
