Video transcoding is an efficient way for. rate adaptation and format conversion in various networked video applications. Many transcoder architectures have been proposed to achie...
Face recognition has become an important topic within the field of pattern recognition and computer vision. In this field a number of different approaches to feature extraction, m...
In standard predictive video coders, intra-mode coding of macroblocks (MBs) provides packet loss resilience, at the cost of reduced compression efficiency. Conventional mode selec...
This paper presents a novel face-assisted video coding scheme to enhance the visual quality of the face regions in video telephony applications. A skin-color based face detection ...
The analysis of video data targeting the identification of relevant objects and the extraction of associated descriptive characteristics will be the enabling factor for a number o...
