—This paper presents a novel block-based fast compression (BFC) algorithm for compound images that contain graphics, text and natural images. The images are divided to blocks, wh...
Multi-scale representations are motivated by the scale invariant properties of natural images. While many low level statistical measures, such as the local mean and variance of in...
We explore the problem of reconstructing an image from a bag of square, non-overlapping image patches, the jigsaw puzzle problem. Completing jigsaw puzzles is challenging and requ...
We propose an algorithm for texture segmentation based on a divide-and-conquerstrategy of statistical modeling.Selectedsets of Gaussianclusters,estimated via ExpectationMaximizati...
Statistical appearance models are valuable tools in medical image segmentation. Current methods elegantly incorporate global shape and appearance, but can not cope with local appe...
