Distributed video coding is a new paradigm for video compression based on the Slepian-Wolf and Wyner-Ziv theorems. Wyner-Ziv video coding, a lossy compression with receiver side information, enables low-complexity video encoding at the expense of a complex decoder. Most of the existing distributed video coding techniques require a feedback channel to determine the number of parity bits for decoding...
This paper presents target motion estimation for multiple air vehicles. The motion of the airborne target is estimated by vision information from camera sensors fixed to the followers. Each camera sensors provides information of the target by three angles: an azimuth angle, an elevation angle, and a subtended angle. In the frame work of information filter, each follower estimates position, velocity...
We present a method to estimate the position and the orientation of a hand from a captured image for applications which need to manipulate instinctively and freely using a hand. We use a hand as a tool instead of an input device such as a mouse or a marker, and we use only a web camera instead of multiple-camera or an infrared camera, in order to improve mobility and usability. We focused on four...
Fast and efficient disparity estimation and compensation are the key techniques in multi-view video processing. When implementing multi-view video coding, there are lots of temporal and inter-viewpoint redundancy among viewpoints, which makes the compression work more challenging. It is found that the inter-viewpoint relationship is subject to the epipolar geometry, which provides constraints between...
Due to the limitation of the gradient constraint, only the normal flow, which is one of the optical flow components that is in the direction of the image gradient, can be computed directly. Consequently, an additional smoothness assumption has to be imposed in order to compute the optical flow. However, such assumption could yield a mismatch, especially on the boundaries of moving objects, besides...
Diagnosis of the underlying causes of widespread spinal pathologies such as back pain and whiplash remains problematic. Many studies suggest that segmental instability may occur and that the study of the intervertebral kinematics can be a valuable, objective method to assess spinal segment functionality. Direct measurement of the intervertebral kinematics results very invasive and unpractical; as...
