The use of block transforms for coding intra-frames in video coding may preclude higher coding performance due to residual correlation across block boundaries and insufficient en...
This paper proposes to use zooming function of digital cameras for robust character recognition and to control focal length for improving the performance even in dim light conditi...
While an exact definition of texture is somewhat elusive, texture can be qualitatively described as a distribution of color, albedo or local normal on a surface. In the literature...
We investigate the use of fractional powers of the Laplacian for signal and image simplification. We focus both on their corresponding variational techniques and parabolic pseudod...

We present an algorithm that extracts curves from a set of edgels within a specific class in a decreasing order of their ``length''. The algorithm inherits the perceptual...
