Compound images contain a mixture of natural images, text, and graphics. They need special care in the use of compression because text and graphics cannot withstand the significan...
An important topic in face recognition as well as in video coding or multi-modal human machine interfaces is the automatic localization of faces or headand-shoulder regions in vis...
This paper presents a novel face-assisted video coding scheme to enhance the visual quality of the face regions in video telephony applications. A skin-color based face detection ...
In this paper, a hierarchical genetic algorithm for disparity estimation is presented. The goal, to estimate reliable disparity fields with low computational cost, is reached usin...
