In this paper, we describe a novel statistical audio watermarking scheme. Under the control of the masking thresholds, watermark is embedded adaptively and transparently in the pe...
Using a set of model landscapes we examine how different mutation rates affect different search metrics. We show that very universal heuristics, such as 1/N and the error threshol...
Natural scene statistics (NSS) are an active area of research. Although there exist elegant models for NSS, the statistics of natural image distortions have received little attent...
In this study, an effective foreground/background segmentation approach for bootstrapping video sequences is proposed. First, a modified block representation approach is used to c...
An important, potential application of image-based techniques is to create photo-realistic image-based environments for interactive walkthrough. However, existing image-based stud...
