This work attempts to considerably reduce the amount of user effort in the natural image matting problem. The key observation is that the nonlocal principle, introduced to denoise...
Learning good image priors is of utmost importance for the study of vision, computer vision and image processing applications. Learning priors and optimizing over whole images can...
Abstract— This paper presents an algorithm for speckle reduction and contrast enhancement of echocardiographic images. Within a framework of multiscale wavelet analysis, we apply...
The recent Nonlocal Means filter (NLM) exhibits exciting performance for image or video denoising. However, the estimation of NLM is biased and tends to keep the value of noise. I...
Kernel regression techniques such as Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) regression, Support Vector Regression and Gaussian processes are widely used for solving many computer vision p...
