We present a framework for audio background modeling of complex and unstructured audio environments. The determination of background audio is important for understanding and predi...
We present a novel selective blurring algorithm that mimics the optical distance blur effects that occur naturally in cameras and eyes. The proposed algorithm provides a realistic...
A method that automatically estimates the metrical structure of a piece of music is presented. The approach is based on the generation of a beat similarity matrix, which provides ...
Low-complexity video encoding has been applicable to several emerging applications. Recently, distributed video coding (DVC) has been proposed to reduce encoding complexity to the...
Least squares (LS) fitting is one of the most fundamental techniques in science and engineering. It is used to estimate parameters from multiple noisy observations. In many probl...
