Photometric invariance is a desired property for color image descriptors. It ensures that the description has a certain robustness with respect to scene incidental variations such...
A conventional color histogram (CCH) considers neither the color similarity across different bins nor the color dissimilarity in the same bin. Therefore, it is sensitive to noisy i...
In this paper, we propose a color image enhancement method that uses retinex with a robust envelope to improve the visual appearance of an image. The word "retinex" is h...
In this paper, we present a novel framework to customize multimedia messages for mobile users. The goal is to generate a video message from a series of pictures. The framework inc...
We propose a new color de-quantizing method for paletted images based on maximizing the sparseness of the overcomplete wavelet analysis of the estimation within the consistency se...
