Bottom-up segmentation based only on low-level cues is a notoriously difficult problem. This difficulty has lead to recent top-down segmentation algorithms that are based on class-...
We present a variational integration of nonlinear shape statistics into a Mumford?Shah based segmentation process. The nonlinear statistics are derived from a set of training silho...
In video sequence processing, shadow remains a major source of error for object segmentation. Traditional methods of shadow removal are mainly based on colour difference threshold...
We present a flexible query allocation framework, called Satisfaction-based Query Allocation (SbQA for short), for distributed information systems where both consumers and provider...
This paper analyzes the coding efficiency of distributed video coding (DVC) schemes that perform motion-compensated interpolation at the decoder. The decoder has access only to th...
