Query expansion is an effective technique in improving the retrieval performance for ad-hoc retrieval. However, query expansion can also fail, leading to a degradation of the retri...
The block-matching motion estimation algorithm using a translational motion model cannot provide acceptable image quality in low bit-rate coding. To improve coding performance, we ...
Confocal fluorescence microscopy has become an important tool in biological and medical sciences for imaging thin specimen, even living ones. Due to out-of-focus blurring and noise...
A vector enhancement of Said and Pearlman's Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) methodology, named VSPIHT, has recently been proposed for embedded wavelet image co...
—New actuators are greatly demanded today in order to develop magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)compatible mechatronic systems capable of extended and improved capabilities. They a...
