One of the envisioned advantages of scalable video coding is its inherent suitability for achieving unequal error protection (UEP). UEP can be effectively used for graceful qualit...
As a culture, object-orientation encourages programmers to create objects, both short- and long-lived, without concern for cost. Excessive object creation and initialization can ca...
A fast and scalable interprocedural escape analysis algorithm is presented. The analysis computes a description of a subset of created objects whose lifetime is bounded by the life...
This work focuses on improving the performance of video communications based on the recently developed H.264 Scalable Video Coding (SVC) standard over 802.11e wireless networks. Th...
In this work, we propose the use of sparse signal representation techniques to solve the problem of closed-loop spatial image prediction. The reconstruction of signal in the block...
