Analysis, Modeling and Generation of Self-Similar VBR Video Traffic

by Mark Garrett, Walter Willinger , 1994
"... We present a detailed statistical analysis of a 2-hour long empirical sample of VBR video. The sample was obtained by applying a simple intraframe video compression code to an action movie. The main findings of our analysis are (1) the tail behavior of the marginal bandwidth distribution can be accu ..."

for VBR video and present an algorithm for generating synthetic traffic. Trace-driven simulations show that statistical multiplexing results in significant bandwidth efficiency even when long-range dependence is present. Simulations of our source model show long-range dependence and heavy-tailed marginals

Graphcut textures: Image and video synthesis using graph cuts

In this paper we introduce a new algorithm for image and video texture synthesis. In our approach, patch regions from a sample image or video are transformed and copied to the output a ..."

Unsupervised learning of human action categories using spatial-temporal words

by Juan Carlos Niebles, Hongcheng Wang, Li Fei-fei - In Proc. BMVC , 2006
"... Imagine a video taken on a sunny beach, can a computer automatically tell what is happening in the scene? Can it identify different human activities in the video, such as water surfing, people walking and lying on the beach? To automatically classify or localize different actions in video sequences ..."

, and geometric and photometric variances of objects. For example, in a live video of a skating competition, the skater moves rapidly across the rink, and the camera also moves to follow the skater. With moving camera, non-stationary background, and moving target, few vision algorithms could identify, categorize and

Detecting Pedestrians Using Patterns of Motion and Appearance

by Paul Viola, Michael J. Jones, Daniel Snow - IN ICCV , 2003
"... This paper describes a pedestrian detection system that integrates image intensity information with motion information. We use a detection style algorithm that scans a detector over two consecutive frames of a video sequence. The detector is trained (using AdaBoost) to take advantage of both moti ..."

Interactive Graph Cuts for Optimal Boundary & Region Segmentation of Objects in N-D Images

by Yuri Y. Boykov , Marie-Pierre Jolly , 2001
"... In this paper we describe a new technique for general purpose interactive segmentation of N-dimensional images. The user marks certain pixels as “object” or “background” to provide hard constraints for segmentation. Additional soft constraints incorporate both boundary and region information. Graph ..."

” segments may consist of several isolated parts. Some experimental results are presented in the context of photo/video editing and medical image segmentation. We also demonstrate an interesting Gestalt example. A fast implementation of our segmentation method is possible via a new max-flow algorithm in [2].

Robust principal component analysis?

by Emmanuel J Candès , Xiaodong Li , Yi Ma , John Wright - Journal of the ACM, , 2011
"... Abstract This paper is about a curious phenomenon. Suppose we have a data matrix, which is the superposition of a low-rank component and a sparse component. Can we recover each component individually? We prove that under some suitable assumptions, it is possible to recover both the low-rank and the ..."

analysis since our methodology and results assert that one can recover the principal components of a data matrix even though a positive fraction of its entries are arbitrarily corrupted. This extends to the situation where a fraction of the entries are missing as well. We discuss an algorithm for solving

Secure spread spectrum watermarking for multimedia

by Ingemar J. Cox, Joe Kilian, F. Thomson Leighton, Talal Shamoon - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING , 1997
"... This paper presents a secure (tamper-resistant) algorithm for watermarking images, and a methodology for digital watermarking that may be generalized to audio, video, and multimedia data. We advocate that a watermark should be constructed as an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Gauss ..."

Efficient region tracking with parametric models of geometry and illumination

by Gregory D. Hager, Peter N. Belhumeur - PAMI , 1998
"... Abstract—As an object moves through the field of view of a camera, the images of the object may change dramatically. This is not simply due to the translation of the object across the image plane. Rather, complications arise due to the fact that the object undergoes changes in pose relative to the v ..."

for handling the geometric distortions produced by changes in pose. We then combine geometry and illumination into an algorithm that tracks large image regions using no more computation than would be required to track with no accommodation for illumination changes. Finally, we augment these methods

Receiver-driven Layered Multicast

by Steven McCanne, Van Jacobson, Martin Vetterli , 1996
"... State of the art, real-time, rate-adaptive, multimedia applications adjust their transmission rate to match the available network capacity. Unfortunately, this source-based rate-adaptation performs poorly in a heterogeneous multicast environment because there is no single target rate — the conflicti ..."
Abstract - Cited by 737 (22 self) - Add to MetaCart
— the conflicting bandwidth requirements of all receivers cannot be simultaneously satisfied with one transmission rate. If the burden of rate-adaption is moved from the source to the receivers, heterogeneity is accommodated. One approach to receiver-driven adaptation is to combine a layered source coding algorithm

Wallflower: Principles and Practice of Background Maintenance

by Kentaro Toyama, John Krumm, et al. , 1999
"... Background maintenance is a frequent element of video surveillance systems. We develop Wallflower, a three-component system for background maintenance: the pixel-level component performs Wiener filtering to make probabilistic predictions of the expected background; the region-level component fills i ..."
