Pre-processing algorithms improve the quality of a compression system by removing unimportant data before encoding. This enhances both the visual quality and coding efficiency of ...

In this paper, we present a novel fidelity constraint for the image enhancement problem by exploiting the motion vectors of a compressed video bit-stream. These vectors establish ...
The type of representation used in describing shape can have a significant impact on the effectiveness of a recognition strategy. Shape has been represented by its bounding curve ...
In the early 1990s, the state-of-the-art in commercial chromosome image acquisition was grayscale. Automated chromosome classification was based on the grayscale image and boundar...
In this paper, a new anisotropic diffusion noise filtering technique is proposed. The technique has two specific features: it is designed for vector-valued images in general and f...
Thispaper presents a new hybrid range image segmentation approach. Two separate techniques are applied consecutively. First, iin edge based segmentation technique extracts the edg...
We have designed a series of computer sessions build around ImageJ (a public-domain software for image analysis), as a practical complement to a two-semester course in image proce...
