The authors formalize the description of the buffer-constrained adaptive quantization problem. For a given set of admissible quantizers used to code a discrete nonstationary signal sequence in a buffer-constrained environment, they formulate the optimal so ...
We consider the problem of correlated data gathering by a network with a sink node and a tree based communication structure, where the goal is to minimize the total trans- mission cost of transporting the information collected by the nodes, to the sink nod ...
The surface site distribution and the dielec. discontinuity effects on the charging process of a spherical nanoparticle (NP) have been investigated. It is well known that electrostatic repulsion between charges on neighboring sites tends to decrease the ef ...
Medical image processing is a demanding domain, both in terms of CPU and memory requirements. The volume of data to be processed is often large (a typical MRI dataset requires 10 MBytes) and many processing tools are only useful to the physician if they ar ...
A novel approach to image super-resolution is described in this paper. By modeling our image acquisition system with a Spline sampling kernel, we are able to retrieve from the samples some statistical information about the observed continuous scene before ...
We address the problem of joint path selection and rate allocation in multipath streaming in order to optimize a media specific quality of service. An optimization problem is proposed, which aims at minimizing a video distortion metric based on sequence-de ...
A novel approach to shadow detection is presented in this paper. The method is based on the use of invariant color models to identify and to classify shadows in digital images. The procedure is divided into two levels: first, shadow candidate regions are e ...
In this paper, we present a no-reference blur metric for images and video. The blur metric is based on the analysis of the spread of the edges in an image. Its perceptual significance is validated through subjective experiments. The novel metric is near re ...
We propose and demonstrate a nonvolatile holographic recording system for storing two-dimensional images. The readout light in this system is not absorbed by the holographic medium, and the data are preformatted or postformatted so that lines from differen ...
