A Hierarchical Characterization Scheme for Image Retrieval
* In this paper, we present a study of hierarchically characterizing image content from coarse level to fine level conducted using a series of shape features as a case in point. I...

Complexity-Regularized Denoising of Poisson-Corrupted Data
In this paper, we apply the complexity?regularization principle to Poisson imaging. We formulate a natural distortion measure in image space, and present a connection between comp...

Analysis of Interscale and Intrascale Dependencies between Image Wavelet Coefficients
We develop an information?theoretic analysis of dependencies between image wavelet coefficients. The dependencies are measured using mutual information, which has a direct link wi...
