The article provides arguments in favor of an alternative approach that uses splines, which is
equally justifiable on a theoretical basis, and which offers many practical advantages. To …

We review error resilience techniques for real-time video transport over unreliable networks.
Topics covered include an introduction to today's protocol and network environments and …

Image-based rendering (IBR) refers to a collection of techniques and representations that
allow 3D scenes and objects to be visualized in a realistic way without full 3D model …

In this paper, we review a general framework for the optimal bit allocation among dependent
quantizers based on the minimum maximum (MINMAX) distortion criterion. The pros and …

A wireless video surveillance system consists of three major components: 1) the video
capture and preprocessing; 2) the video compression and transmission in wireless sensor …

Image compression techniques typically focus on compressing rectangular images for
human consumption, however, resulting in transmitting redundant content for downstream …

In this paper, we present fast and efficient methods for the lossy encoding of object
boundaries that are given as eight-connect chain codes. We approximate the boundary by a …

In this paper we review error resilience techniques for real-time video transport over
unreliable networks. Topics covered include an introduction to today's protocol and network …

Approximation of polygonal curves with minimum error (min-εproblem) can be solved by
dynamic programming, or by graph-theoretical approach. These methods provide optimal …

Context-based lossless coding suffers in many cases from the so-called context dilution
problem, which arises when, in order to model high-order statistic dependencies among …
