An embedded wavelet coder is proposed for arbitrarily shaped image objects. Contrary to the popular approach of considering transparent regions surrounding image objects as perman...
Despite their simplicity, scalar threshold operators effectively remove additive white Gaussian noise from wavelet detail coefficients of many practical signals. This paper explor...

This paper is focused on algorithmic issues for biometric face verification (i.e., given an image of the face and an identity claim, decide whether they correspond to each other o...

This paper exploits independent component analysis (ICA) to obtain transform-based compression schemes adapted to specific image classes. This adaptation results from the data-dep...
In this paper, an efficient method using various histogrambased (high-dimensional) image content descriptors for automatically classifying general color photos into relevant categ...
Epipolar image analysis is a robust method for 3D scene depth reconstruction that uses all available views of an image sequence simultaneously. It is restricted to horizontal, lin...
We present a novel framework for intelligent search and retrieval by image content composition. Very different from the existing Query-by-Example paradigm, logical queries are exp...
The paper makes a short presentation of three existing methods for estimation of orientation tensors, the so-called structure tensor, quadrature filter based techniques, and techn...
