Informed coding is the practice of representing watermark messages with patterns that are dependent on the cover Works. This requires the use of a dirty-paper code, in which each ...
The Rayleigh criterion is generally regarded as a fundamental limit and due to its practical accuracy in predicting the performance of optical imaging systems, it has unfortunatel...
In this paper, we present a new and robust shape descriptor, which can be efficiently used to quickly prune a search for similar shapes in a large image database. The proposed sha...
In this paper, a novel approach to large-format image segmentation is presented, focused on usage in content-based multimedia applications. The proposed framework aims at facilita...

We consider the problem of characterization of spatial region data such as the regions of interest (ROIs) in medical images. We propose a method that efficiently extracts a k-dime...
This paper presents an objective metric for the perceived quality of low bit rate compressed video. Frames are decomposed into several frequency bands at multiple scales and a mot...
In this paper, we present a no-reference blur metric for images and video. The blur metric is based on the analysis of the spread of the edges in an image. Its perceptual signific...
In many multimedia applications, there is a need to authenticate a source that has been subjected to benign degradations in addition to potential tampering attacks. We develop a m...
