The recognition of events in multimedia data is a challenging area of research. The growth in the amount of multimedia data being produced and stored increases the need for systems capable of automatically analysing this data. This analysis can aid in effi ...
This paper discusses distributed coding of two correlated video signals. The video signals are captured from a dynamic scene where each signal is temporally decorrelated by a motion-compensated Haar wavelet. The two cameras operate independently, however, ...
In off-line packetized streaming, rateless forward error correction (FEC) codes spectacularly improve the reliability of transmission over lossy networks. This success relies on time diversity, which in its turn relies on unrestricted buffering time at the ...
Abstract-In this study, we present a hardware implementation of the conscience mechanism in Kohonen self-organizing maps. The proposed realization of the conscience mechanism is important to the functioning of the neural network as it eliminates so-called ...
This paper proposes a rate-distortion optimal a posteriori quantization scheme for Matching Pursuit coefficients. The a posteriori quantization applies to a Matching Pursuit expansion that has been generated off-line, and cannot benefit of any feedback loo ...
This work presents an improved coefficient decoding method for Matching Pursuit streams. It builds on the adaptive a posteriori quantization of coefficients, and implements an interpolation scheme that enhances the inverse quantization performance at the d ...
We address the problem of clustering multimodal group actions in meetings using a two-layer HMM framework. Meetings are structured as sequences of group actions. Our approach aims at creating one cluster for each group action, where the number of group act ...
Digital images are becoming increasingly successful thanks to the development and the facilitated access to systems permitting their generation (i.e. camera, scanner, imaging software, etc). A digital image basically corresponds to a 2D discrete set of reg ...
We address the problem of clustering multimodal group actions in meetings using a two-layer HMM framework. Meetings are structured as sequences of group actions. Our approach aims at creating one cluster for each group action, where the number of group act ...
The theory of high rate lossy source coding is well developed both with respect to the practice of quantization and its fundamental rate distortion limits. But many modern compression systems for natural signals such as audio and images operate at lower ra ...
