Scalable video coding allows for the capability of (partially) decoding a video bitstream when faced with communication deficiencies such as low handwidth or loss of data resulting in lower video quality. As the encoding ...

Video streaming over the Internet has gained popularity during recent years mainly due to the revival of video-conferencing and video-telephony applications and the proliferation of (video) content providers. However, the ...

Face photo-sketch matching is an important problem for law enforcement agencies in terms of identifying suspects. In this study, a new sketch-photo generation and recognition technique is proposed by using residual ...

Knowledge graphs (KG) include large amounts of structured data in many different domains. Knowledge or information is captured by entities and relationships between them in KG. One of the open problems in knowledge graphs ...

Video streaming over the Internet has gained popularity during the recent years which is mainly the result of the introduction of videoconferencing and videotele-phony. These in turn have made it possible to bring to life ...

Streaming multimedia data on best-effort networks such as the Internet requires measures against bandwidth fluctuations and frame loss. Multiple Description Coding (MDC) methods are used to overcome the jitter and delay ...

Scalable video coding and multiple description coding are the two different adaptation schemes for video transmission over heterogeneous and best-effort networks such as the Internet. We propose a new method to encode video ...
