Abstract. State-of-the-art image denoising algorithms attempt to recover natural image signals from their noisy observations, such that the statistics of the denoised image follow ...
Similarity search in metric spaces has several important applications both in centralized and distributed environments. In centralized applications, such as similarity-based image ...
A method for video indexing and filtering based on motion activity characteristics in hierarchical levels is proposed. To extract motion activity information, an MPEG (MPEG-1/2) v...
Feature indexing techniques are promising for object recognition since they can quickly reduce the set of possible matches for a set of image features. This work exploits another ...
The visual appearance of an image is closely associated with its low-level features. Identifying the set of features that best characterizes the image is useful for tasks such as ...
