This paper introduces multi-scale tree-based approaches to image segmentation, using Rissanen's coding theoretic minimum description length (MDL) principle to penalize overly...
We combine multiple description (MD) quantization, entropy coding, and data partitioning to improve the error resiliency of images over varying packet loss channels. Our proposed ...
This paper describes a low-memory cache efficient Hybrid Block Coder (HBC) for images in which an image subband decomposition is partitioned into a combination of spatial blocks a...
We apply Monte Carlo simulation and alpha-beta search to the card game of Skat, which is similar to Bridge, but different enough to require some new algorithmic ideas besides the t...
We present a new algorithm to compute a subset S of vertices of a planar graph G whose removal partitions G into O(N/h) subgraphs of size O(h) and with boundary size O( h) each. ...
