Abstract— The adaptive contrast enhancement (ACE) algorithm, which uses contrast gains (CG’s) to adjust the highfrequency components of images, is a well-known technique for me...
Optimization with graph cuts became very popular in recent years. Progress in problems such as stereo correspondence, image segmentation, etc., can be attributed, in part, to the ...
Video coding is a complex process, comprising a combination of spatial, temporal and statistical data reduction techniques. Of these techniques, motion estimation taking advantage...
Graph-cuts optimization is prevalent in vision and graphics problems. It is thus of great practical importance to parallelize the graph-cuts optimization using today’s ubiquitou...
Where does the sparsity in image signals come from? Local and nonlocal image models have supplied complementary views toward the regularity in natural images the former attempts t...
