To enhance image quality and retain a limited bit budget, intra-frame in the frame type selection plays a significant role in video coding systems because the frame is treated as a key frame for temporal domain reference. This paper presents an algorithm to predict accurate quantization parameters by developing variance-based distortion measurements. Firstly, the intra-frame rate control in JVT...

The task of localizing single and multiple concurrent speakers in a reverberant environment with background noise poses several problems. One of the major problems is the severe corruption of the frame-wise localization estimates. To improve the overall localization accuracy, we propose a particle filter based tracking algorithm using the recently proposed Multiband Joint PositionPitch (M-PoPi)...
