Middleware provides simplicity and uniformity for the development of distributed applications. However, the modularity of the architecture of middleware is starting to disintegrat...
Multimedia transmissions over heterogeneous networks require a high degree of flexibility from video compression systems. They are expected to be fully scalable, that is to say to...
The geometric features of images, such as edges, are difficult to represent. When a redundant transform is used for their extraction, the compression challenge is even more dif...
This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) with specialized encoding, initialization and local search genetic operators to optimize communication network topologies. This NPhard...
We present a new technique for the display of high-dynamic-range images, which reduces the contrast while preserving detail. It is based on a two-scale decomposition of the image ...
