Managing Digital Image Collections from your TV-Set: A State-of-Art Review
(IEEE, 2007-07-14)
The problem of managing growing digital image collections is discussed in the context of a home user. The use of a conventional television set as both a viewing and management tool is discussed. The problem of linking ...
Appearance capturing and animation techniques for realistic, true-identity gaming avatars
(IEEE, 2009-10-23)
Making use of a class of 2D statistical face models known as active appearance models (AAMs), we investigate a technique for generating real-time animated avatars suitable for video gaming. We consider here a number of ...
Enhanced real-time face models from stereo imaging for gaming applications
(IEEE, 2009-10-23)
Techniques for improved 2D active appearance face models are presented. When these are applied to stereoscopic image pairs we show that sufficient information on image depth is obtained to generate an approximate 3D face ...
Biometric access control for digital media streams in home networks
(IEEE, 2007)
Methods for controlling access to digital media content in the home environment using biometric sensing techniques are described. A wireless rebroadcast system for IP-TV content was retrofitted with a combination of ...
Architecture of a PVR appliance with 'Long Tail' internet-TV capabilities
(IEEE, 2006)
The design and implementation of a networked PVR appliance incorporating support for Internet-TV is described. The appliance incorporates support for the bittorrent protocol and employs user tools for content location, ...
Fast A/V channel switching on a wireless home network
(IEEE, 2005-11-21)
A method of enabling fast switching between multimedia streams on an 802.11g network is described. This technique is particularly useful for A/V home network applications where it is desirable to simulate the fast channel ...
Automatic indexing of consumer image collections using person recognition techniques
(IEEE, 2005-01-08)
An evaluation of person recognition technologies for use in an automatic cataloging tool for consumer image collections is presented. Prototype implementations of the automatic cataloging tool and user search tools are ...
Home networking middleware infrastructure for improved audio/video appliance functionality and interoperability
(IEEE, 2006-05-15)
A software architecture is described which significantly improves the accessability of multiple home appliances on a heterogeneous home network. Methods for aggregating devices into virtual clusters on a local middleware ...
Rapid prototyping of networked A/V CE appliances
(IEEE, 2006-05-15)
In this paper the design and rapid prototyping of networked A/V CE appliances is described. Practical implementations of three types of appliance are described: (i) a streaming A/V server; (ii) a streaming A/V client device ...
Biometrically auditable public key infrastructure technology for secure multimedia content
(IEEE, 2005-05-16)
A system for signing and tracing the use of digital content based on biometrically generated key-pairs is described. The system is designed to protect the fair use rights of end-users and can be readily incorporated into ...
