Image segmentation is the process by which an image is divided into number of
regions. The regions are to be homogeneous with respect to some property. Definition
of homogeneity depends mainly on the expected patterns ...
Modern digital still cameras are equipped with just a single CCD for color image acquisition. Since only one spectral band can be recorded in each pixel, a mosaic of red, green and blue color filters is placed in front o ...
Networks of on-line modules for Digital Signal Processing (DSP) applications
have been designed and analyzed in many papers. Various arguments have
been made for on-line arithmetic over other bit-serial and parallel ap ...
An extremely important area that has enabled or will enable many of the
digital video services and applications such as VideoCD, DVD, DVC, HDTV, video
conferencing, and DSS is digital video compression. The great succe ...
Automated recognition of object categories in images is a critical step for many real-world computer vision applications. Interest region detectors and region descriptors have been widely employed to tackle the variabili ...
This thesis investigates Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) techniques to lower
power consumption in video decoding. A DVS scheme called the Frame-data
Computation Aware (FDCA) method has been presented. This method is
ada ...
A new, fully automated summarization algorithm of MPEG compressed videos is
designed to address the challenge of content based video retrieval. This algorithm
segments the MPEG stream motion vector magnitudes using a s ...
Image segmentation continues to be a fundamental problem in computer vision and
image understanding. In this thesis, we present a Bayesian network that we use for
object boundary detection in which the MPE (most probab ...
Product quality control is the back bone for an
efficient process control system. By monitoring the
size of the board cut in a sawmill, performance of the
production system can be controlled. Feedback from the
qualit ...
The purpose of this thesis is to explore methods which can reduce the power
dissipation of a mobile system while decoding MPEG video. MPEG decoding is a
microprocessor intensive process that makes heavy use of both the ...
