Option prices can be used to construct implied (risk-neutral) distributions, but it remains to
be proven whether these are useful either in relation to forecasting subsequent market …

A novel motion compensation algorithm for the coding of 3D image sequences is presented.
The temporal correlation existing between two successive in time 3D data sets is exploited …

A novel 3D motion compensation algorithm for the coding of 3D medical image sequences
is presented. The temporal correlation existing between successive in time 3D data sets is …

Region-based coding methods can provide a solution of maximal quality for the transmission
of video sequences through channels of low bit-rate due to their 'scene- adaptive' nature. …

Content-based image coders become the center of attention now for the currently emerging
standard MPEG-4. A method based on the spatio-temporal segmentation for motion image …

Simultaneous observations of sudden changes in solar proton intensities by one spacecraft
outside and by one or two spacecraft inside the earth's magnetotail are reported here. In a …

We present a two-step segmentation scheme for the very low bit rate coding of general
purpose video scenes. Our objective is to determine the regions of interest before the actual …

A novel motion compensation algorithm for the coding of 3D image sequences is presented.
The temporal correlation existing between two successive in time 3D data sets is exploited …

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze if implied volatility and the implied risk neutral
density function can predict short term market return of the Swedish OMX-index. To study the …

The aim of this study is to investigate whether implied RND functions are stable with respect
to the choice of estimation methodology and whether the stability is affected by the stock …
