Indexing echocardiogram videos at different levels of structure is essential for providing efficient access to their content for browsing and retrieval purposes. We present a nove...
One of the major drawbacks in block-based discrete cosine transform (BDCT) is the blocking artifacts at low bit rates. In this paper, an adaptive deblocking algorithm based on Mar...
Visual vocabulary serves as a fundamental component in many computer vision tasks, such as object recognition, visual search, and scene modeling. While state-of-the-art approaches...
A new probabilistic background model based on a Hidden Markov Model is presented. The hidden states of the model enable discrimination between foreground, background and shadow. Th...
There has been a recent, growing interest in classification and link prediction in structured domains. Methods such as conditional random fields and relational Markov networks sup...
