Motion Compensated Temporal Filtering (MCTF) has proved to be an efficient coding tool in the design of open-loop scalable video codecs. In this paper we propose a MCTF video codi...
In this paper, we propose a new rotation-invariant image retrieval system based on steerable pyramids and the concept of angular alignment across scales. First, we define energy-b...
In this paper we present a new descriptor for spatial distribution of motion activity in video sequences. We construct a histogram of areas of distinct regions (or "blobs&quo...
As the accuracy of conventional classifiers, based only on a static partitioning of feature space, appears to be approaching a limit, it may be useful to consider alternative appro...
Distributed systems increasingly span organizational boundaries and, with this, system and service management domains. Web services are the primary means of exposing services to c...
