Performance in terms of bit rate is compared between motion compensated and nonmotion-compensated multimode video coding. Multimode video coding optimizes the tradeoff between the conflicting objectives of high compression ratio and error resilience.","PeriodicalId":223771,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on VIPromCom Video/Image Processing and Multimedia Communications","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121291441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some of the offered or proposed EPGs are reviewed. By marking their outstanding properties we have presented some EPG core features, important to users. We also give some opinions about the form and type of EPG \"content\" delivered to users and the functionality of the GUI (graphic user interface).","PeriodicalId":223771,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on VIPromCom Video/Image Processing and Multimedia Communications","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122522995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The robust approach considers the limited quality and the various distortions that such material usually contains. In a first stage the focal length of the camera is estimated from estimated warping parameters of the planar perspective motion model. Then the images are projected onto a cylinder surface and the amount of rotation of each image is estimated using a gradient descent algorithm. The presented results prove the suitability and accuracy of the algorithm.","PeriodicalId":223771,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on VIPromCom Video/Image Processing and Multimedia Communications","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122202674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Commun. and IT Sciences Association, vol.LVI, no.4, 2001). Video objects are first extracted from a conventional frame-based video sequence. By representing the video objects of interest with the so-called constrained Delaunay mesh structures, we could transmit their shapes and patterns in an efficient way: mesh-nodes are tracked forward to reconstruct their new position and therefore their shape at the latter time point; the pattern of the mesh is predicted from the dense field of backward motion vectors, then they are compensated with residual errors for a \"perfect\" reconstruction. In the current work, the wavelet transform is applied to encode residual errors, the most bit-consuming information. Thanks to the multiresolution character of the wavelet transform, which leads to superior energy compaction and perceptual quality of the decompressed residual errors, the method surpasses the compression offered by the block-DCT in the initial phase. The overall performance of the full scheme is encouraging.","PeriodicalId":223771,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on VIPromCom Video/Image Processing and Multimedia Communications","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130408351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
