This paper presents an efficient compression-oriented segmentation algorithm for computer-generated document images. In this algorithm, a document image is represented in a block-...
In this paper, we present a new coding scheme for depth maps using a hierarchical decomposition. After we decompose a depth map into three disjoint images and a layer descriptor a...
We present a simple set of data structures, and a collection of methods for constructing and updating the structures, designed to support the use of cohesive elements in simulation...
In this paper, we propose a new technique for extracting salient regions in an image. Identification of salient regions is useful for region/object based image processing. Previous...
A number of techniques have been developed for reconstructing surfaces by integrating groups of aligned range images. A desirable set of properties for such algorithms includes: i...
