SynthesizedTextures represent continuous-tone images with a small set of vectors and color profiles. This representation is not only efficient in terms of compression ratio but al...
Users of image databases often prefer to retrieve relevant images by categories. Unfortunately, images are usually indexed by low-level features like color, texture and shape, whi...
This paper proposes an algorithm for recognizing Chinese characters in many diverse fonts including Song, Fang, Kai, Hei, Yuan, Lishu, Weibei, and Xingkai. The algorithm is based ...
Anisotropic diffusion has been widely used in image processing for its efficiency of smoothing the noisy images while preserving the sharp edges. In this paper we will explore a g...
This paper proposes a unified efficient and universal scalable video coding framework that supports different scalabilities, such as fine granularity quality, temporal, spatial an...

Reliable transmission of video over wireless networks must address the limited bandwidth and the possibility of loss. When the bandwidth is insufficient on a single channel, the v...
In this paper, we present an object contour tracking approach using graph cuts based active contours (GCBAC). Our proposed algorithm does not need any a priori global shape model,...
