By this integration, the image signal that has to be readout from the sensor is significantly reduced. Thus, the integration can consequently leads to high pixel rate sensing. The compression scheme we make use of is conditional replenishment that detects and encodes moving areas. We have developed prototypes based on two different architectures, that are pixel parallel and column parallel architectures. We present the two prototypes and their comparisons, and show the results obtained by them.","PeriodicalId":92344,"journal":{"name":"Computer analysis of images and patterns : proceedings of the ...

Precise 3D central axes of these structures are needed, however, for accurate quantization. Commonly employed manual-axes identification techniques are time-consuming and error-prone. Recently proposed automated techniques do not adequately exploit the available gray-scale or anatomic structural information and they are also prone to errors. The authors propose a method for computing the precise central axes of branching structures contained in 3D images. The method is robust to data anisotropy and uses true gray-scale information. These axes can then be used for automated navigation and assessment in a virtual-endoscopic system. The authors present the application of their method to a human lung-cancer case.","PeriodicalId":92344,"journal":{"name":"Computer analysis of images and patterns : proceedings of the ...

First, the image sequence is segmented into objects based on motion and color. The objects are then independently decomposed by subband/wavelet analysis, both in the temporal and spatial domain. The temporal analysis is greatly facilitated over existing methods by the object-based representation. Each object's subband/wavelet coefficients are then quantized according to a bit allocation scheme based on the generalised BFOS algorithm. Simulations at very low bit-rates indicate competitive performance to classical motion-compensated predictive (MCP) coding schemes, while allowing the flexibility of frame-rate scalability.","PeriodicalId":92344,"journal":{"name":"Computer analysis of images and patterns : proceedings of the ...

This enables an encoder, that is processing complex video, to use more of the channel bandwidth than an encoder that is compressing less complex video. The encoder rates are continually adapted. A rate controller determines the channel rate for each encoder as well as the target rate allocated to individual pictures encoded by the encoders. The target rates for individual pictures are computed in order to maintain constant quality across encoders while the encoder channel rates are derived so as to avoid encoder and decoder buffer underflow and overflow.","PeriodicalId":92344,"journal":{"name":"Computer analysis of images and patterns : proceedings of the ...

In this contribution, an algorithm for the automatic estimation of the chin and cheek contours of a person is presented. The chin and cheeks are represented by a deformable template consisting of parabolas. Cost functions are established and minimized to find the best fit of the template to the chin and cheek contours of the person. In all examined frames of the videophone sequences \"Akiyo\" and \"Claire\", the manually determined real contour of the chin and the cheeks is approximated by the estimated contours with good accuracy. In more than 60% of all frames, no deviation between the real contours and the estimated contours occurs.","PeriodicalId":92344,"journal":{"name":"Computer analysis of images and patterns : proceedings of the ...

Teixeira, Teresa Andrade, Vitor Teixeira","doi":"10.1109/ICIP.1997.632189","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICIP.1997.632189","url":null,"abstract":"In video applications, digital encoding techniques are frequently associated to the use of compression algorithms. Compression algorithms such as the MPEG 2 standard allow economies in transmission bandwidth, while providing a service with a quality similar or better to the current analogue systems. The reduction in the number of bits necessary to represent a given sequence is achieved by exploiting spatial and temporal redundancy in the original video sequences. The number of bits necessary to achieve a given picture quality level will be variable because the redundancy in the original sequence is also variable. This means that compression algorithms such as the MPEG 2 standard will generate variable bit rate (VBR) encoded bit streams if a constant quality is to be obtained. The goal of the work described in this paper is to develop dynamic multiplexing algorithms to be implemented at the user terminal equipment and to study the potential benefits of jointly controlling the bit rate of several encoders and the channel bit rate. The bit rate of the VBR transmission channel is constrained by leaky bucket policing functions. The source bit rate is determined and controlled on a picture basis by the proposed dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm with the objective of maintaining a minimum level of quality among all video sources using always the least possible bandwidth and without violating the traffic contract.","PeriodicalId":92344,"journal":{"name":"Computer analysis of images and patterns : proceedings of the ...

It is often assumed that these benefits are in some way proportional to the degree of joint locality of the functions being used. Within the limits imposed by the uncertainty principle, there can be great variation in this joint locality across different local function families. While there is no generally accepted joint locality metric appropriate for visual applications, Gabor's joint uncertainty is often cited to justify the use of a set of functions. It has been shown that complex Gabor functions optimize this metric. There is some debate however regarding which, of the restricted class of real functions, has the lowest joint uncertainty. In this paper we examine three families of real functions and directly evaluate the Gabor metric for joint uncertainty. In contrast to previous attempts to prove the optimality of any one function, this analysis provides an explicit numerical basis for comparison of these real functions.","PeriodicalId":92344,"journal":{"name":"Computer analysis of images and patterns : proceedings of the ...
