Characterizing and Exploiting Reference Locality in Data Stream Applications
In this paper, we investigate a new approach to process queries in data stream applications. We show that reference locality characteristics of data streams could be exploited in ...

Rate-distortion Optimization For Automatic Sprite Video Coding Using H.264/avc
Sprite-based video coding offers higher compression efficiency than conventional block-based hybrid video coders. In sprite coding a sequence is divided into a model of its backgr...
