A regression-based framework for estimating the objective quality of HEVC coding units and video frames
(Elsevier, 2015-05)A no-reference objective quality estimation framework is proposed. The framework is suitable for any block-based video codec. In the proposed solution, features are extracted from coding units and summarized to form features ... -
Saliency detection in MPEG and HEVC video using intra-frame and inter-frame distances
(Springer, 2016-04)This paper proposes a video saliency detection model for MPEG and HEVC coded videos. The model extracts features from MPEG macro blocks and HEVC coding units. The feature variables are based on syntax elements and statistics ... -
Android mobile app for real-time bilateral Arabic sign language translation using leap motion controller
(IEEE, 2017)This paper introduces an android mobile App for real-time bilateral Arabic sign language translation. The system is designed to operate on isolated sign language words. The mobile App has four main components; sign language ... -
Decision-level fusion for single-view gait recognition with various carrying and clothing conditions
(Elsevier, 2017)Gait Recognition is one of the latest and attractive biometric techniques, due to its potential in identification of individuals at a distance, unobtrusively and even using low resolution images. In this paper we focus on ... -
Altering Split Decisions of Coding Units for Message Embedding in HEVC
(Springer, 2017-05)This paper proposes a novel message embedding solution based on modifying the split decisions of HEVC videos. The encoder starts by computing a mapping between the split decisions of a Coding Unit (CU) and its features ... -
Novel Classification System for Classifying Cognitive Workload Levels under Vague Visual Stimulation
(IEEE, 2017-07)This paper presents a novel method for classifying four different levels of cognitive workload. The workload levels are generated using visual stimuli degradation. EEG signals recorded from 16 subjects were used for workload ... -
Predicting split decisions of coding units in HEVC video compression using machine learning techniques
(Springer, 2018)In this work, we propose to reduce the complexity of HEVC video encoding by predicting the split decisions of coding units. We use a sequencedependent approach in which a number of frames belonging to the video being encoded ... -
Multiple Proposals for Continuous Arabic Sign Language Recognition
(Springer, 2019)The deaf community relies on sign language as the primary means of communication. For the millions of people around the world who suffer from hearing loss, interaction with hearing people is quite difficult. The main ... -
Motion-Based Gait Recognition for Recognizing People in Traditional Gulf Clothing
(IEEE, 2019)Gait recognition is gaining popularity as it can recognize people in a non-intrusive and a non-contact manner. However, gait recognition is known for its susceptibility to clothing conditions. In this paper, we propose a ... -
