Template-based Monocular 3-D Shape Reconstruction And Tracking Using Laplacian Meshes

Tien Dat Ngo

This thesis addresses the problem of recovering the 3-D shape of a deformable object in single images, or image sequences acquired by a monocular video camera, given that a 3-D template shape and a template image of the object are available. While being a ...

Tracking freeriders in gossip-based content dissemination systems

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Maxime Monod, Kévin Clément Huguenin

Gossip-based protocols have proven very efficient for disseminating high-bandwidth content such as video streams in a peer-to-peer fashion. However, for the protocols to work, nodes are required to collaborate by devoting a fraction of their upload bandwid ...

Evaluation of Side Information Effectiveness in Distributed Video Coding

Thomas Maugey

The rate-distortion performance of a distributed video coding system strongly depends on the characteristics of the side information. One could naively think that the best side information is the one with the largest PSNR with respect to the original corre ...

Subjective quality assessment of H.264/AVC video streaming with packet losses

Touradj Ebrahimi, Francesca De Simone, Frédéric Dufaux

Research in the field of video quality assessment relies on the availability of subjective scores, collected by means of experiments in which groups of people are asked to rate the quality of video sequences. The availability of subjective scores is fundam ...
