The usage of peer-to-peer (p2p) networks for music information retrieval (MIR) tasks is gaining momentum. P2P file sharing networks can be used for collecting both search queries ...
The H.264/AVC video coding standard performs inter prediction using variable block sizes to improve coding efficiency. Since we predict not only the motion of the homogeneous regio...
An important trend in Web information processing is the support of multimedia retrieval. However, the most prevailing paradigm for multimedia retrieval, content-based retrieval (C...
In this work, we model speech samples with the generalized Gamma distribution and evaluate the efficiency of such modelling for voice activity detection. Using a computationally i...
A novel digital image watermarking method based on wavelet domain fractal coding is presented in this paper. Employing the invariant parameters of the wavelet domain fractal trans...
