In this paper we propose a locally adaptive image threshold technique via variational energy minimization. The novelty of the proposed method is that from an image it automaticall...
Wyner-Ziv (WZ) video coding ? a particular case of distributed video coding (DVC) ? is a new video coding paradigm based on two major Information Theory results: the Slepian-Wolf ...
Interactive audio-visual (AV) applications such as Free Viewpoint Video (FVV) aim to enable unrestricted spatio-temporal navigation within multiple camera environments. Current vi...
In the framework of a face verification system using local features and a Gaussian Mixture Model based classifier, we address the problem of non-frontal face verification (when on...
We are interested in capturing time series generated by small wireless electronic sensors. Battery-operated sensors must avoid heavy use of their wireless radio which is a key cau...
