Spoken language interaction between humans and robots in natural environments will necessarily involve communication about space and distance. The current study examines people...
We investigate (quantifier-free) spatial constraint languages with equality, contact and connectedness predicates, as well as Boolean operations on regions, interpreted over low-...

In this paper, we develop a method for generating thumbnail images from the interlaced H.264/AVC coded bit streams. We devise a method exploiting both the spatial and transform do...
The prediction step is a very important part of hybrid video codecs for effectively compressing video sequences. While existing video codecs predict either in temporal or in spati...
In this paper, we present a new framework of video object
segmentation, in which we formulate the task of extracting
prominent objects from a scene as the problem of hypergraph
