This paper addresses the problem of lip segmentation in color space, which is a crucial issue to the success of a lip-reading system. We present a new segmentation approach to lip ...
As digital cameras and online photo sharing services become more popular, digital images are growing exponentially on the Internet. Thus supporting more effective retrieval from l...
An optimization-based method is proposed for the design of high-performance separable wavelet filter banks for image coding. This method yields linear-phase perfect-reconstructio...
The block-matching with 3D transform domain collaborative filtering (BM3D) achieves very good performance in image denoising. However, BM3D becomes ineffective when an image is h...
Caenorhabditis elegans is an important model organism for the study of molecular mechanisms of development and disease processes, due to its well-known genome and invariant cell l...
