This paper proposes an image coding method based on adaptive downsampling which not only uses the pixel redundancy but also considers visual redundancy. At the encoder side, codec...
In this paper, we present a new area-based method for visual correspondence search that focuses on the dissimilarity computation. Local and area-based matching methods generally m...
For effective retrieval of visual information, statistical learning plays a pivotal role. Statistical learning in such a context faces at least two major mathematical challenges: ...
We introduce an image retrieval method for searchingan image database by using a query image that has similarity in its global and/or regional image contents to the intended targe...
The problem of binarization of gray level images acquired under nonuniform illumination is reconsidered. Yanowitz and Bruckstein proposed to use for image binarization an adaptive...
