This work attempts to considerably reduce the amount of user effort in the natural image matting problem. The key observation is that the nonlocal principle, introduced to denoise...
In infrared astronomy, an observed image from a chop and nod process can be considered as the result of passing the original image through a highpass filter. Here we propose a rest...

We consider the Wyner-Ziv (WZ) problem of lossy compression where the decompressor observes a noisy version of the source, whose statistics are unknown. A new family of WZ coding a...
The tree-structured wavelet transform has received a lot of attention and has found successful applications in signal denoising, image coding, image analysis, etc. In this paper, ...
In this paper, we present a patch-based variational Bayesian framework of image processing using the language of factor graphs (FGs). The variable and factor nodes of FGs represen...
