We investigate the issue of sign language automatic phonetic subunit modeling, that is completely data driven and without any prior phonetic information. A first step of visual p...
This paper describes a watermarking method to directly embed information into a CABAC entropy coded H.264/AVC stream. In theory, modification of a part of an arithmetically coded ...
This paper proposes a method of generating F0 contours from natural F0 segmental shapes for speech synthesis. The extracted shapes of F0 units are basically kept unchanged, by eli...
This article proposes a generative image model, which is called ‘‘primal sketch,’’ following Marr’s insight and terminology. This model combines two prominent classes of...
This paper presents a cost-effective peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture for large-scale on-demand media streaming, named BitVampire. BitVampire's primary design goal is to aggreg...
