In this paper, we propose a novel method for the automatic segmentation of a foreground layer from a natural scene in real time by fusing infrared, color and edge information. Thi...
A key step in distributed video coding is the generation of the side information (SI) i.e. the estimation of the Wyner-Ziv frame (WZF). This step is also frequently called image i...
Due to variations of lighting conditions, camera hardware settings, and the range of skin coloration among human beings, a pre-defined skin-color model cannot accurately capture t...
This paper continues the movement from technology centered to human centered approaches in the study of tasks that involve finding, understanding, and using information, and tools...
We present a framework for audio background modeling of complex and unstructured audio environments. The determination of background audio is important for understanding and predi...
