We present an improved transform-based phase unwrapping (PU) system that employs a recursive structure. Each stage, which is identical with others, performs PU by FFT method and g...
This paper presents a novel method to reduce the phaseunwrapping (PU) distortion by being based on twodimensional fractional Brownian motion (fBm) theory. The method incorporates ...
Matching pursuit (MP) based video coder represents an effective alternative to conventional block based DCT based architectures[I]. In this paper we propose a generalized motion c...
Sherwood and Zeger proposed a source-channel coding system where the source code is an embedded bitstream and the channel code is a product code such that each row code is a conca...
Joint source-channel coding systems using scalable source codes and forward error correction allow reliable transmission of multimedia data over noisy channels. The performance of...
In this paper, we study unsupervised image segmentation using wavelet-domain hidden Markov models (HMMs). We first review recent supervised Bayesian image segmentation algorithms ...
The classical case of morphological segmentation is based on the watershed transform, constructed by flooding the gradient image, which is seen as a topographic surface, with cons...
We study, in this paper, the problem of denoising images/data which are defined over non-flat surfaces. This problem arises often in many medical imaging tasks. The Beltrami flow ...
