A set of features is evaluated for recognition of musical instruments out of monophonic musical signals. Aiming to achieve a compact representation, the adopted features regard only spectral characteristics of...
This paper proposes an integrated approach to Internet video streaming and multicast (e.g., receiver-driven layered multicast (RLM) by McCanne) based on combined wavelet video coding and error control. We desi...
A concept of robust adaptive beamforming integrating stereophonic acoustic echo cancellation is presented which reconciles the need for low-computational complexity and efficient adaptive filtering with versat...
Wavelet coding has been shown to achieve better compression than DCT coding and moreover allows scalability. 2D DWT can be easily extended to 3D and thus applied to video coding. However, 3D subband coding of ...
This paper presents a comparison of some methodologies for the automatic construction of video summaries. The work is based on the simulated user principle to evaluate the quality of a video summary in a way t...
Robust watermarking with oblivious detection is essential to practical copyright protection of digital images. Effective exploitation of the characteristics of human visual perception to color stimuli helps to...
This paper presents a new method for the selection of sinusoidal components for use in compact representations of narrowband audio. The method consists of ranking and selecting the most perceptually relevant s...
We propose to use multiple-description coding (MDC) to protect video information against packet losses and delay, while also ensuring that it can be decoded using a standard decoder. Video data are encoded int...
Motion feature plays an important role in video retrieval. The current literature mostly addresses motion retrieval only by camera motion and global motion of individual video objects in a video scene. In this...
