In this paper, fractal transforms are employed with the aim of image recognition. It is known that such transforms are highly sensitive to distortions like a small shift of an ima...
We present a hybrid approach to image watermarking that exploits results from both information theory and perceptual studies. Towards this purpose we use a waterfilling-type algor...
Compound images contain a mixture of natural images, text, and graphics. They need special care in the use of compression because text and graphics cannot withstand the significan...
We devise a statistical framework for edge detection by performing a statistical analysis of zero crossings of the second derivative of an image. This analysis enables us to estim...
In this work, a novel sub-pixel interpolation algorithm is proposed for video coders targeted towards high resolution and high fidelity use cases. Proposed scheme is based on adap...
