DCT-based digital video coding standards such as MPEG and H.26x are becoming more widely adopted for multimedia applications. Since the standards differ in their format and syntax...
The compression of still images by means of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), adopted in the JPEG-2000 and MPEG-4 standards, is becoming more and more widespread because it yie...
Using an array of photo shots, the concentric mosaic offers a quick way to capture and model a realistic three-dimensional (3-D) environment. In this work, we compress the concentr...
An overview of statistical and information-theoretic aspects of hidden Markov processes (HMPs) is presented. An HMP is a discrete-time finite-state homogeneous Markov chain observe...
