In this paper we present VOCUS: a robust computational attention system for goal-directed search. A standard bottom-up architecture is extended by a top-down component, enabling th...
Online photo sharing systems, such as Flickr and Picasa, provide a valuable source of human-annotated photos. Textual annotations are used not only to describe the visual content ...
Digital images of natural scenes are usually characterized by strong spatial correlation between adjacent pixels which has been successfully exploited in the coding of still and m...
This paper describes work on the Multimission VICARPlanner (MVP) system to automatically construct executable imageprocessing procedures for custom image processing requests for t...
A rate-distortion (R-D) model is derived to investigate the potential coding gain from the use of a larger macroblock size for high definition (HD) video coding in this work. Codin...
