Almost all digital videos are coded into compact representations before being transmitted. Such compact representations need to be decoded back to pixels before being displayed to humans and - as usual - before being enhanced/analyzed by…
Feature coding has been recently considered to facilitate intelligent video analysis for urban computing. Instead of raw videos, extracted features in the front-end are encoded and transmitted to the back-end for further processing. In this…
