This paper proposes a search method for detecting known objects quickly in 3D environments with a pan-tilt-zoom camera. In our previous work, we proposed an algorithm named Active...
Digital videos are increasingly adopted in various multimedia applications where they are usually broadcasted or transmitted as video streams. Continuously monitoring copies on the...
The paper proposes an extension of CFDs [1], referred to as extended Conditional Functional Dependencies (eCFDs). In contrast to CFDs, eCFDs specify patterns of semantically relate...
