Software synthesis for system level design languages becomes feasible because the current technology, pricing and application trends will most likely alleviate the industrial empha...
In many applications, we find large video collections from different genres where the user is often only interested in one or two specific video genres. So, when users are queryin...
We present in this communication a new biometric system based on the use of hand veins acquired by an infrared imager. After the preprocessing stage and binarization, the vein imag...
We propose a new complexity modeling framework for multimedia tasks. We characterize the traffic with five parameters that together we designate as a task's complexity specif...
This paper describes the design of a low-cost, low-power smart imaging core that can be embedded in cameras. The core integrates an ARM 9 processor, a camera interface and two spe...
