This paper proposes a parallel architecture for quadtreebased fractal image coding. This architecture is capable of performing the fractal image coding based on quadtree partition...
This work introduces two complementary techniques to improve the packet loss resilience of scalable video coding systems. First, a “switch per-pixel” error concealment (SPEC) ...
Wyner-Ziv (WZ) video coding ? a particular case of distributed video coding (DVC) ? is a new video coding paradigm based on two major Information Theory results: the Slepian-Wolf ...
We present a method to measure reflectance and texture of surfaces in a one step process. For later use in digital image synthesis it is mandatory to separate the gathered intensi...
Abstract. In this paper we present a new algorithm for 3D medical image segmentation. The algorithm is fast, relatively simple to implement, and semi-automatic. It is based on mini...
