The appearance of a face image is severely affected by illumination conditions that hinder the automatic face recognition process. To recognize faces under varying illuminations, ...
This paper proposes a novel application of image inpainting techniques for the edge enhancement problems in image deblurring and denoising. The edge enhancement effect is achieved...
In this paper, we propose a new seamless bitstream switching scheme to improve the coding performance ofH.264 SP-frames for rate adaptation. Our method removes one of the two requ...
—A critical step in automatic fingerprint matching is to automatically and reliably extract minutiae from the input fingerprint images. However, the performance of a minutiae ext...
We demonstrate that it is possible to filter an image with an elliptic window of varying size, elongation and orientation with a fixed computational cost per pixel. Our method inv...
