    • Realising Real Time Multimedia Groupware on the Web 

      Allison, Colin; Bateman, Martin; Ruddle, Alan (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Real-time audio and video conferencing has not yet been satisfactorily integrated into web-based groupware environments. Conferencing tools are at best only loosely linked to other parts of a shared working environment. ...

    • Remote Raster Image Browsing Based on Fast Content Reduction forMobile Environments 

      Rosenbaum, René; Schumann, Heidrun (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Enhanced browsing techniques for digital imagery and small displays facilitate the exploration process of large images often by using new ways to represent the image. Reduction of image content is such an approach mostly ...

    • Reusing Motions and Models in Animations 

      Huang, Akanksha Z.; Prabhakaran, B.; Ruiz, C. R.; Jr., (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Computer animated 3D models have been increasingly used in multimedia presentations because they can be viewed and manipulated directly in 3D. In this paper, we propose a database approach for this problem. Our main objective ...

    • Screen Space: Depiction and the Space of Interactive Media 

      Davis, Stephen Boyd; Jones, Huw (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      The spatial properties of digital interactive multimedia are analysed and contrasted with those of pictures, and of narrative feature films and factual television. These media have developed distinctive spatial methods and ...

    • A Segmentation Algorithmfor Jacquard Images Based on Mumford-ShahModel 

      Feng, Z. L.; Yin, J. W.; Chen, G.; Liu, Yang; Dong, J. X. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Automatic pattern segmentation of jacquard images is a challenging task due to the complexity of the images. Active contour models have become popular for finding the contours of a pattern with a complex shape. However, ...

    • Self-Organizing Multimedia and Extremely Distributed Architectures 

      Butera, William; Bove, V. Michael; Jr., (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      The Object-Based Media Group at the MIT Media Laboratory is developing robust, self-organizing programming models for dense ensembles of ultra-miniaturized computing nodes which are deployed by the thousands in bulk fashion, ...

    • A Server-based Interactive Remote Walkthrough 

      Cohen-Or, Daniel; Noimark, Yuval; Zvi, Tali (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      This paper presents a server-based remote walkthrough system. The client is assumed to be a thin client, like a handset or a mobile device, with no strong processor but with some embedded video chip. The server holds the ...

    • 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 ...

    • Sobol Partial Distortion Algorithm for Fast Full Search in Block Motion Estimation 

      Quaglia, Davide; Montrucchino, Bartolomeo (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Block motion estimation is a cpu intensive task for video encoding. Many fast algorithms have been developed to solve this problem, trying to improve both block searching and block matching. Some of them reduce the image ...

    • SPATIAL VIDEO Exploring Space Using Multiple Digital Videos 

      Nobre, Edmundo M. N.; Camara, Antonio S. (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      This paper pre sents and discusses a new approach to collect, organize and explore multiple digital videos on a spatial basis. We present a methodology based on direct video frame indexation to the real space represented ...

    • Story Networks: 'The medium is the message'; The content, your souvenir 

      Davenport, Glorianna (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Storytelling -- a fundamental mode of human communication -- has adapted in form, content, and technique as new expressive technologies have appeared and evolved. The past century has witnessed the growth of storytelling ...

    • Tetrahedral Adaptive Grid for Parallel Hierarchical Tetrahedrization 

      Takama, Yasufumi; Kimura, Akinori; Tanaka, Hiromi T. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Recent advances in volume scanning techniques have made the task of acquiring volume data of 3-D objects easier and more accurate. Since the quantity of such acquired data is generally very large, a volume model capable ...

    • 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 Web Services-Based Architecture for Capability-Aware Ubiquitous Media 

      Haipeng, Wang; Xingshe, Zhou; Zongtao, Duan; Tao, Zhang (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Ubiquitous media aims to provide media services anytime and anywhere. To realize it, one challenge is how to provide customized and dynamic services to a variety of computing devices with different capabilities. This paper ...
