In this paper we describe a fast approach for image contrast enhancement, based on localized contrast manipulation. Our approach is not only fast and easy to implement, but also h...
A large number of test images and their "ground truth" segmentations are needed for performance characterization of the many image segmentation methods. In this work we ...

This paper tackles the image characterization problem from a statistical analysis of local patterns in one or several images. The induced image characteristics are not defined a p...
In order to embed a watermark into a binary document image, some subset of image pixels needs to be modified. This modification will cause a document image distortion. Careful sel...
The observed distribution of natural images is far from uniform. On the contrary, real images have complex and important structure that can be exploited for image processing, reco...
