The quality of coded images is often assessed by a subjective test. Usually the viewers get as much time as they need to find a stable result. In video sequences however, the view...
Human visual recognition is based largely on shape, yet effectively using shapes in natural image retrieval is a challenging task. Most existing methods are based on the geometric...
In this paper we propose and analyze a new spatial access method, namely the S∗ -tree, for the efficient secondary memory encoding and manipulation of images containing multiple ...
The purpose of this two-part monograph is to present a tutorial on set partition coding, with emphasis and examples on image wavelet transform coding systems, and describe their u...
A PCNNs-based square-and-triangle-template method for binary fingerprint image thinning is proposed. The algorithm is iterative, in which a combined sequential and parallel proces...
