Appropriate rate control plays a very important role in encoding motion pictures under the constant bit-rate. One of the requirements for rate control is minimizing temporal fluct...

In this paper we explore the problem of accurately segmenting a person from a video given only approximate location of that person. Unlike previous work which assumes that the app...
In this paper, we discuss how to apply the rate distortion technique to select the optimal mode in the scalable coding. Firstly, we analyze this problem from a general scalable mo...
This paper describes e cient and optimal encoding and representation of object contours. Contours are approximated by connected second-order spline segments, each de ned by three ...

In this paper, we propose DBSampler, a query execution mechanism to answer "partial selection" queries in peerto-peer databases. A partial selection query is an arbitrar...
