The structural similarity (SSIM) index has been shown to be an useful tool in a wide variety of applications that involve the assessment of image quality and similarity. However, i...
This paper introduces a variational formulation for image denoising based on a quadratic function over kernels of variable bandwidth. These kernels are scale adaptive and reflect ...
In this paper we describe a new method for improving the representation of textures in blends of multiple images based on a Markov Random Field (MRF) algorithm. We show that direc...
Perceptual image quality metrics have explicitly accounted for perceptual characteristics of the human visual system (HVS) by modeling sensitivity to subband noise as the just-not...
In this paper a framework for defining scale-spaces, based on the computational geometry concepts of α-shapes, is proposed. In this approach, objects (curves or surfaces) of incr...
