Novel similarity measures for object recognition and image matching are proposed, which are inherently robust against occlusion, clutter, and nonlinear illumination changes. They c...
This paper proposes a statistic framework for segmenting textured areas over real images by discriminant snakes. Our active contour model has the ability to learn different textur...
A flexible multiscale and directional representation for images is proposed. The scheme combines directional filter banks with the Laplacian pyramid to provides a sparse represent...
This paper presents an edge-enhancing super-resolution algorithm using anisotropic diffusion technique. Because we solve the super-resolution problem by incorporatinganisotropic d...
In this paper we describe the Image FidelityAssessor (IFA), a model of the human visual system designed to evaluate perceived fidelity. In particular, we describe the structure of...
