In this work, we present a novel method to detect violent shots in movies. The detection process is split into two views–––the audio and video views. From the audio-view, a w...
The emerging JBIG2 standard allows compliant encoders to achieve very high compression rates on bi-level images, especially when images are properly segmented into regions of line...
Extracting key-frames is the first step for efficient content-based indexing, browsing and retrieval of the video data in commercial movies. Most of the existing research deals wi...
Pharmaceutic studies require to analyze thousands of ECGs in order to evaluate the side effects of a new drug. In this paper we present a new approach to automatic ECG segmentatio...
We propose a novel and generic video/image reranking algorithm, IB reranking, which reorders results from text-only searches by discovering the salient visual patterns of relevant...
