In our recent work, a class of parametric transforms, including family of Haar-like transforms, was introduced and studied in application to image compression. Parametric Haar-lik...
—Salient areas in natural scenes are generally regarded as areas which the human eye will typically focus on, and finding these areas is the key step in object detection. In com...
In this paper, we propose a new rotation-invariant image retrieval system based on steerable pyramids and the concept of angular alignment across scales. First, we define energy-b...
The three-dimensional (3-D) SPIHT coder is a scalable or embedded coder that has proved its efficiency and its real-time capability in compression of video. A forward-error-correc...
A vector enhancement of Said and Pearlman's Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) methodology, named VSPIHT, has recently been proposed for embedded wavelet image co...
