End-to-end distortion estimation plays an important role in error-resilient video coding. The intuitive method is to simulate the decoding process many times at the encoder, as use...
We present a novel non-parametric unsupervised segmentation algorithm based on Region Competition [21]; but implemented within a Level Sets framework [11]. The key novelty of the ...
Internet radio and television stations require significant bandwidth to support delivery of high quality audio and video streams to a large number of receivers. IP multicast is a...
Distributed problem solving by a multiagent system represents a promising approach to solving complex computational problems. However, many multiagent systems require certain degr...
The design process for xed-point implementations either in software or in hardware requires a bit-true specication of the algorithm in order to analyze quantization eects on an...
