Global color characterization is a very powerful tool to model in a simple yet discriminant way the visual appearance of complex objects. A fixed reference model of this type can ...
Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a coding paradigm that gives the decoder the task to exploit the source statistics to achieve efficient compression. Current approaches to DVC rel...
A new approach to Variable Size Block Matching is proposed, based on the binary partitioning of blocks. If a particular block does not allow for accurate motion compensation, then...
In this paper, we propose a generalized DCT-domain spatial downscaling scheme to improve the visual quality. We analyze the filtering performances and computational complexities o...
For video communications over wireless ad hoc networks, multiple paths with limited bandwidth are common. It therefore presents new challenges to the video encoding. In this paper...
