In this paper we incorporate recent results from AM-FM models for texture analysis into the variational model of image segmentation and examine the potential benefits of using the...
There is a rapidly growing demand for using smart cameras for various biometric applications in surveillance. Although having a small form-factor, most of these applications deman...
A fast mode decision method for Intra prediction in H.264 is proposed in this work to reduce the encoder complexity. The proposed algorithm adopts a multi-stage sequential mode de...
The modified Differential Pulse Coded Modulation (DPCM) codec with multi-rate processing has been shown to able to code source with monotonically decreasing spectrum efficiently a...
Authentication watermarking is the process that inserts hidden data into an object (image) in order to detect any fraudulent alteration perpetrated by a malicious hacker. In the l...
An objective no-reference measure is presented to assess fine-structure image/video quality. It was designed to measure image/video quality for video surveillance applications, es...
We present a new fast algorithm for background modeling and subtraction. Sample background values at each pixel are quantized into codebooks which represent a compressed form of b...

Rate-Distortion optimization can significantly improve encoder performance in MPEG-like video coding applications especially when it is applied to coding mode selection and motion...
Lagrangian minimization is one of the most powerful tools for Rate-Distortion optimal coding mode selection. However, in the latest video compression standard H.264/AVC, the total...
An interesting problem in digital forensics is that given a digital image, would it be possible to identify the camera model which was used to obtain the image. In this paper we l...
