Marching Ridges is an algorithm for finding ridges of measurement functions defined for images, in which the ridges are defined as level sets of first derivatives of the measureme...
We propose a method to calibrate a rotating and zooming camera without 3D pattern, where the internal parameters change frame by frame. First, we show that the calibration is uniq...
In this paper, we present a new method for detecting curvilinear structures in a gray-scale image. The concept of skeleton extraction is introduced to detect more general structur...
The Gaussian mixture model is a powerful statistical tool in data modeling and analysis. Generally, the EM algorithm is utilized to learn the parameters of the Gaussian mixture. Ho...
We introduce a method to improve performance of multiple-description coding based on legacy video coders with pre- and postprocessing. The pre- and post-processing setup is genera...
