High efficiency video coding (HEVC) is the latest video coding standard, and it has the best
performance among all the existing standards. HEVC main still picture profile (HEVC-MSP) …

One-and two-way communication with digital compressed visual signals is now an integral
part of the daily life of millions. Such commonplace use has been realized by decades of …

The characteristics of the human visual system may be further exploited in lossy video
coding to improve the video compression efficiency beyond the state-of-the-art H. 264/AVC …

We present a novel and practical texture mapping algorithm for hand-drawn cartoons that
allows the production of visually rich animations with minimal user effort. Unlike previous …

Rapid growing intelligent applications require optimized bit allocation in image/video coding
to support specific task-driven scenarios such as detection, classification, segmentation, etc …

In this paper, we investigate a method for selectively modifying a video stream using a color
contrast sensitivity model based on the human visual system. The model identifies regions of …

With the increase of video resolutions used in multimedia applications, solutions for
improved compression are sought. The next generation video compression standard, High …

The volume of data involved in video storage and transmission is rapidly increasing with the
introduction of new video formats with higher spatial and temporal resolutions. In order to …

In this era of digital communications, video compression has become a necessity and plays
an integral role that aids the widespread use of multimedia over the Internet. In the digital …

This chapter studies the integration of a just noticeable distortion model in the H. 264/AVC
standard video codec to improve the final rate-distortion performance. Three masking …
