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...
In the geometric data model [6], spatio-temporal data are modelled as a finite collection of triangles that are transformed by time-dependent affinities. To facilitate querying an...
Topological predicates, as derived from the 9-intersection model, have been widely recognized in GIS, spatial database systems, and many other geo-related disciplines. They are ba...

A novel shape based segmentation approach is proposed by modifying the external energy component of a deformable model. The proposed external energy component depends not only on t...
The spherical harmonic (SPHARM) description is a powerful surface modeling technique that can model arbitrarily shaped but simply connected 3D objects and has been used in many app...
