The tremendous power and low price of today's computer systems have created the opportunity for exciting applications rich with graphics, audio and video. Despite this potential, planning computer systems to support the intensity of these multimedia applications is an extremely di cult task. We have developed a exible model and method that allows us to predict multimedia application performance...

An interactive multimedia computer-assisted instruction on congenital heart disease was developed to increase nursing students' understanding of congenital heart disease. Computer-assisted instruction, with its ability to incorporate sound, visuals, and interactivity, provides a multimedia and interactive learning environment that enhances the teaching and learning process. Computer-assisted in...

The technical foundation for many applications of computer vision to multimedia applications is efficient and robust image motion estimation. These algorithms enable the creation of algorithms for mosaic construction, registration of video to a database, multi-sensor registration, 3D estimation and representation, and video content indexing and retrieval. Demonstrations on the above topics will...
