We develop a new framework for the quantitative analysis of shapes of planar curves. Shapes are modeled on elastic strings that can be bent, stretched or compressed at different r...
Lips segmentation is a very important step in many applications such as automatic speech reading, MPEG-4 compression, special effects, facial analysis and emotion recognition. In ...

Scalability and others functionalities such as the Region of Interest encoding become essential properties of an efficient image coding scheme. Within the framework of lossless co...
Video streaming has already been very popular on the Internet through services such as news bulletins from different parts of the world and on-demand music-video clips. With rapid...
We propose efficiency of representation as a criterion for evaluating shape models, then apply this criterion to compare the boundary curve representation with the medial axis. We...
