The encoding process of image vector quantization (VQ) is very heavy due to it performing a lot of k-dimensional Euclidean distance computations. In order to speed up VQ encoding,...
The development of mid-level concepts helps to bridge the gap between low-level feature and high-level semantics in video analysis. Most existing work combines the customized mid-...
In this work we strive to find an optimal set of acoustic features for the discrimination of speech, monophonic singing, and polyphonic music to robustly segment acoustic media st...
The major complexity source in H.264 is the rate distortion (R-D) optimization. This work proposes a method to reduce the complexity of R-D analysis, paying a little video degrada...

Most work in human activity recognition is limited to relatively simple behaviors like sitting down, standing up or other dramatic posture changes. Very little has been achieved i...
