This paper addresses the problem of deriving measures that express the degree of the reliability of motion vectors estimated by a Block Matching motion estimation method. We expre...

A method for segmenting and recognizing text embedded in video and images is proposed in this paper. In the method, multiple segmentation of the same text region is performed, thu...
Digital watermarking is equivalent to bandlimited, powerlimited digital communication. The power limit is due to the requirement of imperceptible watermarks, and has long been rec...
This paper describes an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for wavelet-based image restoration (deconvolution). The observed image is assumed to be a convolved (e.g., blurred...
Most of the watermarking schemes that have been proposed until now employ a correlator in the detection stage. The current paper proposes a new detector scheme that can be applied...
With the explosive growth of video applications over the Internet, many approaches have been proposed to stream video effectively over packet switched, best-effort networks. In ou...
In our method for tracking objects, appearance features are smoothed by robust and adaptive Kalman filters, one to each pixel, making the method robust against occlusions. While t...
A canonical model is proposed for object classes in aerial images. This model is motivated by the observation that geographic regions of interest are characterized by collections ...
In this paper we address the alignment of historical and present-day aerial photographs. Historical images refer to regions bombed during the second world war. In this regions the...
