The new MPEG-4 standard will provide superior services for the user, as it introduces the video objects concept. However, there is no generic segmentation technique able to provide the segmentation maps for such a coding system. In this paper, we propose a novel mesh-based video segmentation and objects tracking algorithm with both robust motion estimation and modeling of motion discontinuities...

one of the main concerns of processing algorithms used in synthetic aperture radar (sar) with a ballistic motion is the compensation of all phase errors in the data received from the target to achieve a clear picture of the target. in this article, by using range doppler algorithm and phase-gradient auto focus algorithm, imagery in one sar with a ballistic motion is considered according to the ...

A coder for television video signals working at a bit-rate of 1.15 Mbit/s is presented. It uses a special coding structure facilitating trick modes and a separated global and local motion compensation. Global motion is described by a central zoom and pan model. For the estimation of global motion a frame matching algorithm is explained. The advantages of using global motion parameters are given...

The High Resistance Compensation Method (HRCM) was developed to measure the electrode potentials of high resistance electrodes. It is essentially similar to the classical Poggendorff compensation method, but instead of an ampere-meter, the pH-meter was introduced as an indicator of complete compensation. The method was applied to measurements of the electrode potentials of a single crystal ruti...

This paper presents a novel method for performing fast estimation of data samples on a desired output grid from samples on an irregularly sampled grid. The output signal is estimated using integration of signals over a neighbourhood employing a local model of the signal using discrete filters. The strength of the method is demonstrated in motion compensation examples by comparing to traditional...

This paper analyzes a ,two-period setup in which firms differ with respect to costs of care and may use care-taking to signal type to consumers, who are able to observe precaution taken only ex post. Applying the refinement of the intuitive criterion to the concept of the perfect Bayesian equilibrium, we establish a unique separating equilibrium for every share of harm borne by firms. For low l...

In conventional motion compensation, prediction block is related only with one motion vector for P frame. Multihypothesis motion compensation (MHMC) is proposed to improve the prediction performance of conventional motion compensation. However, multiple motion vectors have to be searched and coded for MHMC. In this paper, we propose a new low-cost multi-hypothesis motion compensation (LMHMC) sc...

This paper gives a clear look at the segmentation process at the basic level. Segmentation is done at multiple levels so that we will get different results. Segmentation of relative motion descriptors gives a clear picture about the segmentation done for a given input video. Relative motion computation and histograms incrementation are used to evaluate this approach. Also here we will give comp...

For the internal dynamics of molecules it is of crucial importance that nuclei are much heavier than electrons. This leads to the adiabatic picture of the nuclei motion with respect to the motion of electrons. In the adiabatic picture, the coordinates of nuclei play the role of external parameters with respect to the state of the electronic sub-system, that is they play the same role as the adi...

In this paper, we propose a robust approach for tracking targets in forward looking infrared (FLIR) imagery taken from an airborne moving platform. First, the targets are detected using fuzzy clustering, edge fusion and local texture energy. The position and the size of the detected targets are then used to initialize the tracking algorithm. For each detected target, intensity and local standar...
