    • Abstractions in Multimedia Authoring: The MAVA Approach 

      Hauser, Juergen; Tian, Jing (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      The support of abstractions in authoring systems increases the efficiency of the specification of multimedia documents. Authoring based on a very low abstraction, for example script programming, is very complex and time ...

    • Adaptive Visualization of Distributed 3D Documents Using Image Streaming Techniques 

      Loeffler, Jobst; Fellner, Dieter W. (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      With the emergence of open information spaces such as digital libraries, advanced techniques for interactive visualization of complex and protected 3D documents are needed. This paper presents a new visualization concept ...

    • 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 ...

    • Animating Peer-Level Annotations Within Web-Based Multimedia 

      Bulterman, Dick (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      The TabletPC is an example of a new generation of user interface device where pen-based manipulation of information is integrated directly into a user s workflow. Using the TabletPC's existing pen and electronic ink systems, ...

    • Authentication of Volume Data Using Wavelet-Based Foveation 

      Kankanhalli, M. S.; Chang, E.-C.; Guan, X.; Huang, Z.; Wu, Y. (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      3D volume data has been increasingly used in many appli- cations. The digital nature of the data allows easy creation, copying and distribution. However, it also allows ease of manipulation which can enable wilful or ...

    • Buoy Indexing of Metric Feature Spaces for Fast Approximate Image Queries 

      Volmer, Stephan (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      A novel indexing scheme for solving the problem of nearest neighbor queries in generic metric feature spaces for content-based image retrieval is proposed to break the 'dimensionality curse.' The basis for the proposed ...

    • A Chinese Remainder Theorem Oriented Information Hiding Scheme 

      Chang, Chin-Chen; Lu, Tzu-Chuen (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Steganography is an information hiding technique that conveys secret information in a host signal using a secret method. Only the receivers and senders know the secret information. Many researchers have proposed their own ...

    • A Component-based Authoring Environment for Creating Multimedia-RichMixed Reality 

      Abawi, Daniel; Dörner, Ralf; Grimm, Paul (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Applications that seek to combine multimedia with Mixed Reality (MR) technologies in order to create multimediarich MR environments pose a challenge to authors who need to provide content for such applications. Founded on ...

    • Content Based Image Public Watermarking 

      Hengfu, Yang; Zihua, Yang; Mingfang, Jiang (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      In this paper, a content based image public watermarking technique which operates in DCT domain is proposed. First, the 8×8 DCT sub-blocks of the host image are rearranged into a Hilbert sequence in Hilbert scanning order, ...

    • Content Based Retrieval of VRML Objects - An Iterative and Interactive Approach 

      Elad, Michael; Tal, Ayellet; Ar, Sigal (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      We examine the problem of searching a database of three-dimensional objects (given in VRML) for objects similar to a given object. We introduce an algorithm which is both iterative and interactive. Rather than base the ...

    • 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 ...

    • DynaVideo - A Dynamic Video Distribution Service 

      Leite, Luiz Eduardo; Alves, Renata; Lemos, Guido; Batista, Thais (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Most solutions proposed to implement audio and video distribution services have been designed for specific infrastructures or have been tailored to specific application requirements, such as stream and clients types which ...

    • Effective Exercise Instruction System Using Virtual Human 

      Itami, Yoshikazu; Yoshida, Norimasa; Kitajima, Katsuhiro (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      This study aims at developing an aerobics exercise instruction software for personal use by introducing an instruction program best fit to the physical conditions of respective exerciser. The software uses the combination ...

    • Estimating Traffic Density Using Sounds of Moving Vehicles 

      Kato, Jien; Hiramatsu, Yoshitaka; Watanabe, Toyohide (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      This paper proposed a method for automatically estimating traffic density by using sounds of moving vehicles. The approach is based on the idea of recognition of the temporal variations that appear on the power signals ...

    • Extended Format Definition and Quality-driven Format Negotiation in Multimedia Systems 

      Lohse, Marcos; Slusallek, Philipp; Wambach, Patrick (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Multimedia middleware needs to support a wide variety of devices together with their respective data formats. This becomes increasingly relevant and difficult in a distributed environment where new devices and formats ...
