This paper presents a novel, MPEG-4 compliant animation engine (body player). It has been designed to synthesize virtual human full-body animations in interactive multimedia applications for the web. We believe that a full-body player can provide a more ex ...
This paper addresses the problem of efficient representation of scenes captured by distributed omnidirectional vision sensors. We propose a novel geometric model to describe the correlation between different views of a 3-D scene. We first approximate the c ...
Accurate time registration, georeferencing, and instantaneous feature extraction are important challenges for real-time mapping systems. The Geodetic Engineering Laboratory (TOPO) at the EPFL has designed a mobile platform to automatically determine the ge ...
In this report we extend the recently proposed {DCT}-mod2 feature extraction technique (which utilizes polynomial coefficients derived from {2D} {DCT} coefficients obtained from horizontally & vertically neighbouring blocks) via the use of various windows ...
Accurate speaker location is essential for optimal performance of distant speech acquisition systems using microphone array techniques. However, to the best of our knowledge, no comprehensive studies on the degradation of automatic speech recognition (ASR) ...
A 3D imager is presented capable of capturing the depth map of an arbitrary scene. Depth is measured by computing the time-of-flight of a ray of light as it leaves the source and is reflected by the objects in the scene. The round-trip time is converted to ...
The problem of image super-resolution from a set of low resolution multiview images has recently received much attention and can be decomposed, at least conceptually, into two consecutive steps as: registration and restoration. The ability to accurately re ...
Accurate speaker location is essential for optimal performance of distant speech acquisition systems using microphone array techniques. However, to the best of our knowledge, no comprehensive studies on the degradation of automatic speech recognition (ASR) ...
Little prior image processing work has addressed estimation and classification of skin color in a manner that is independent of camera and illuminant. To this end, we first present new methods for 1) fast, easy-to-use image color correction, with specializ ...
We propose a smart camera which performs video analysis and generates an MPEG-7 compliant stream. By producing a content-based metadata description of the scene, the MPEG-7 camera extends the capabilities of conventional cameras. The metadata is then direc ...
