Image registration is an essential step in many image processing applications that need visual information from multiple images for comparison, integration or analysis. Recently r...
We present a novel approach to the problem of detection of visual similarity between a template image, and patches in a given image. The method is based on the computation of a lo...
We address two-dimensional shape-based classification, considering shapes described by arbitrary sets of unlabeled points, or landmarks. This is relevant in practice because, in m...
Compression of encrypted data can be achieved by employing Slepian-Wolf coding (SWC). However, how to efficiently exploit the source dependency in an encrypted colored signal such...
The appearance of rendered text is a compromise between the designer's intent and the display capabilities. The ClearType rendering method is designed to enhance rendered tex...

In this paper, a motion-based approach for detecting high-level semantic events in video sequences is presented. Its main characteristic is its generic nature, i.e. it can be dire...
Media authentication and tampering localization are important in content delivery via untrusted intermediaries, such as peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing. Many differently encoded v...

In this paper we present a statistical model used to select coding parameters for a mixed resolution Wyner-Ziv framework implemented using the H.264/AVC standard. This paper exten...

We pose the problem of perfect segmentation for regions with ambiguous boundaries. We design machine learning classifiers to identify boundaries and build these into an interactiv...
In this paper a view-independent head tracking system applying an Active Shape Model based particle filter is used to find precise image sections. DCTmod2 feature sequences are ex...
