—This paper presents a novel block-based fast compression (BFC) algorithm for compound images that contain graphics, text and natural images. The images are divided to blocks, wh...
In this work, homomorphic image modeling is used to make the exhaustive block-matching algorithm (EBMA) more human vision system (HVS) aware, thus yielding visually pleasing seque...
Media distribution through application-layer overlay networks has received considerable attention recently, owing to its flexibility and readily deployable nature. On-demand stre...
