— In this paper, we introduce a novel wavelet-based multiple description image coder, referred to as the feature-oriented MDC (FOMDC). The proposed multiple description coder exp...
We present a universal statistical model for texture images in the context of an overcomplete complex wavelet transform. The model is parameterized by a set of statistics computed ...
Bottom-up segmentation methods merge similar neighboring regions according to a decision rule and a merging order. In this paper, we propose a contribution for each of these two po...
In this report, we consider whether statistical regularities in natural images might be exploited to provide an improved selection criterion for interest points. One approach that ...
A new approach to multichannel image compression is introduced where the intra- and cross-band correlations are jointly exploited in a surprisingly simple yet very effective manner...
