In this paper, an efficient and computationally fast method for segmenting text and graphics part of document images based on textural cues is presented. We assume that the graphic...
An efficient compression scheme for color-quantized images based on progressive coding of color information has been developed. Instead of sorting color indexes into a linear list ...
Transform approximations are explored for speeding up the software compression of images and video. Approximations are used to replace the regular discrete cosine transform (DCT) w...
This paper is devoted to a Shannon-theoretic study of turbo codes. We prove that ensembles of parallel and serial turbo codes are "good" in the following sense. For a tur...
We consider the estimation of the order, i.e., the number of hidden states, of a special class of discrete-time finite-alphabet hidden Markov sources. This class can be characteriz...
