Abstract. This paper deals with the theory and applications of spatially-variant mathematical morphology. We formalize the definition of spatially variant dilation/erosion and ope...
Image smoothing using adaptive windows whose shapes, sizes, and orientations vary with image structure is described. Window size is increased with decreasing gradient magnitude, a...
We present a class of nonlinear adaptive image restoration filters which may be steered to preserve sharp edges and contrasts in the restorations. From a theoretical point of view ...
In this paper, a lapped orthogonal transform adapted for local directionality of an image is proposed and its application in adaptive image coding is presented. First, we address ...
This paper discusses a method for the construction of nonlinear 2D wavelet decompositions using an adaptive update lifting scheme. A very interesting aspect is that the decomposit...
