In this paper we present a probabilistic framework for tracking objects based on local dynamic segmentation. We view the segn to be a Markov labeling process and abstract it as a ...
The lossless entropy coding used in many image coding schemes often is overlooked as most research is based around the lossy stages of image compression. This paper examines the r...
A method for efficiently selecting the operating modes within a block-based multi-mode video compression system is described. For a given image region, the optimum combination of ...
