—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...
Many recent techniques for low-level vision problems such as image denoising are formulated in terms of Markov random field (MRF) or conditional random field (CRF) models. Nonethel...
We propose a novel model of visual contrast measurement based on segregated ON and OFF pathways. Two driving forces have shaped our investigation: (1) establishing a mechanism sele...
Statistical iterative reconstruction algorithms have shown improved image quality over conventional nonstatistical methods in PET by using accurate system response models and measu...
This paper presents a new approach to single-image superresolution, based on sparse signal representation. Research on image statistics suggests that image patches can be wellrepre...
