We present a new approach to iteratively estimate both
high-quality depth map and alpha matte from a single image
or a video sequence. Scene depth, which is invariant
to illumin...

Given three or four synchronized videos taken at eye level and from different angles, we show that we can effectively use dynamic programming to accurately follow up to six indivi...
A video compression standard incorporates many tools and technologies which must be licensed by systems that deploy the standard. The licensing determines the royalty costs that m...
We consider the problem of estimating and encoding depth maps from multiple views in the context of 3D-TV with free-viewpoint rendering. We propose a novel codec based on the Rate...
This paper studies the transmission of images encoded using an embedded source encoder over a wireless network allowing user cooperation. A dynamic programming algorithm is applie...
