Abstract- We present a novel and computationally simple prediction stage in a Daubechies 5/3 ? like lifting structure for lossless image compression. In the 5/3 wavelet, the predic...
In this paper, we study the use of optical flow as a characteristic for tracking. We analyze the behavior of three flowbased observation models for particle filter algorithms, and...
Can a system of distributed moderation quickly and consistently separate high and low quality comments in an online conversation? Analysis of the site Slashdot.org suggests that t...
Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is based on a new paradigm in coding, which has received many interests recently. This paper proposes a hybrid spatial and temporal error concealmen...
Soft biometrics, as a prescreening filter, contribute to a much smaller candidate pool and allow the overall query to perform better and faster. In this paper, we focus on the eff...
