This paper presents a multiple description (MD) video codec based on the principles side-information coding. In particular, we highlight certain key components of the codec design...
In this paper, we propose to use the Colored Pattern Appearance Model (CPAM) as a content representation for video scene break detection. This model represents a scene by means of...
A protein molecule is made of a long chain of amino acid sequences that fold into a complex three-dimensional structure. It is often the geometrical shapes that determine the prot...
In this paper we evaluate the effectiveness of two likelihood normalization techniques, the Background Model Set (BMS) and the Universal Background Model (UBM), for improving perf...
In this paper we introduce the DCT-mod2 facial feature extraction technique which utilizes polynomial coefficients derived from 2-D DCT coefficients of spatially neighbouring bloc...
