• Progressive Image Transmission Using Singular Value Decomposition 

  Chang, Chin-Chen; Liu, Yi-Long (The Eurographics Association, 2004)

  There are many progressive image transmission schemes using vector quantization-related schemes, but there are some problems associated with them. First, these schemes need to train a codebook, and this codebook will ...

• Image-based Rendering of the AnisotropicBRDF ofWoven Fabrics 

  Takeda, Yuki; Viet, Huynh Quang Huy; Tanaka, Hiromi T. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)

  The reflectance of fabric surface is commonly represented by a 4D bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF). To generate the BRDF from measured data by a gonioreflectometer with 2 degrees of freedom of the ...

• Mixing Images and Sketches for Retrieving Vector Drawings 

  Ferreira, A.; Fonseca, M. J.; Jorge, Joaquim A.; Ramalho, M. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)

  Current approaches to content-based retrieval of multimedia data usually rely either on query by example or on sketches of the desired image, but not on both. In this paper, we propose a new query specification scheme, ...

• Door Access Control Using Human Face and Height 

  Zhang, H. X.; Ma, R. H.; Huang, W. M.; Huang, Z. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)

  Access control has much attracted research interest recently. In this paper, we propose a method using human face and height as human trait to recognize a person. We observe that eye location extracted from a human face ...

• A Training-Based Method for Reducing Ringing Artifact in BDCT-Encoded Images 

  Wang, Guangyu; Wong, Tien-Tsin; Heng, Pheng-Ann (The Eurographics Association, 2004)

  The quantization procedure of block-based discrete cosine transform (BDCT) compression (such as JPEG) introduces annoying visual artifact. In this paper, we propose a novel training-based method to reduce the ringing ...

• A Novel Quadtree-Structured Scheme for Transmitting Chinese Calligraphy Progressively 

  Chang, Chin-Chen; Li, Chien-Fa; Lin, Iuon-Chang (The Eurographics Association, 2004)

  Progressive image transmission (PIT) techniques are useful in Web applications. A user can get a rough preview of an image and decide if the entire detail of a picture needs to be transmitted, especially when the network ...

• Analysis of Inter-Frame Coding Without Intra Modes in H.264 

  Cheng, Yun; Wang, Zhiying; Dai, Kui; Guo, Jianjun (The Eurographics Association, 2004)

  H.264/AVC is a new international standard for video coding which has great advantage of coding efficiency com-pared with other standards. It can save about 50% bit-rate compared with that of the successful prior coding ...

• Simultaneous Tracking of Multiple Objects for Augmented Reality Applications 

  Yuan, C. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)

  This paper presents an appearance-based image processing and tracking algorithm which is applied in a distributed Augmented Reality (AR) system. The tracker is computer vision based and is capable of simultaneous tracking ...

• A New Approach to Multimedia Information Filtering Based on its Structure 

  Huang, Xiaodi; Yong, Jianming (The Eurographics Association, 2004)

  In information filtering systems, the multimedia documents are sequentially presented to users based on the user relevance values. This paper argues that the presented multimedia documents should be both important and ...

• Animating Peer-Level Annotations Within Web-Based Multimedia 

  Bulterman, Dick (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
