We consider the problem of estimating and encoding depth maps from multiple views in the context of 3D-TV with free-viewpoint rendering. We propose a novel codec based on the Rate...
In this paper, we develop a framework for efficiently encoding predictive error frames (PEF) as part of a rate scalable, wavelet-based video compression algorithm. We investigate ...
In this paper, we present a fast and optimal method for the lossy encoding of object boundaries which are given as 8-connect chain codes. We approximate the boundary by a polygon ...

An algorithm is presented which implements image watermarking in the domain of an overcomplete, or redundant, wavelet transform. This algorithm expands on a previous method which ...
Most existing quality metrics do not take the human attention analysis into account. Attention to particular objects or regions is an important attribute of human vision and perce...
