Abstract. Vector quantization (VQ) is an elementary technique for image compression. However, the complexity of searching the nearest codeword in a codebook is time-consuming. In t...
This paper presents algorithms for efficiently computing the covariance matrix for features that form sub-windows in a large multidimensional image. For example, several image proc...
In standard predictive video coders, intra-mode coding of macroblocks (MBs) provides packet loss resilience, at the cost of reduced compression efficiency. Conventional mode selec...
High contrast scenes are difficult to depict on low contrast displays without loss of important fine details and textures. Skilled artists preserve these details by drawing scen...
H.264 is the current state-of-the-art monoscopic video codec providing almost twice the coding efficiency with the same quality comparing the previous codecs. With the increasing ...
