In this paper we propose a rigorous framework for texture image segmentation relying on region-based active contours (RBAC) and sparse texture representation. Such representations...
Abstract--This paper proposes a no-reference quality assessment metric for digital video subject to H.264/AVC encoding. The proposed metric comprises two main steps: coding error e...
Abstract. This paper presents a variational level set approach to joint segmentation and bias correction of images with intensity inhomogeneity. Our method is based on an observati...
