This paper describes efficient data structures, namely the Indexed P-tree, Block P-tree, and Indexed-Block P-tree (or IP-tree, BP-tree, and IBP-tree, respectively, for short), for...
We present three variants of a new quality metric for image fusion. The interest of our metrics, which are based on an image quality index recently introduced by Wang and Bovik in...
We propose a new quality metric for range images that is based on the multi-scale Structural Similarity (MS-SSIM) Index. The new metric operates in a manner to SSIM but allows for...
