Invariants to Convolution with Circularly Symmetric PSF
We introduce a new class of moment-based features invariant to rotation and to convolution with an unknown point-spread function having circular symmetry. Unlike the invariants pu...

Estimation of Arbitrary Camera Motion in MPEG Videos
Several algorithms have been proposed to solve the problem of camera motion estimation in digital videos. However, the distinction between translation along the xaxis (y-axis) and...

Maximizing Validity in 2D Motion Analysis
Classifying and analyzing human motion from a video is relatively common in many areas. Since the motion is carried out in 3D space, the 2D projection provided by a video is somew...

Non-linear Reflectance Model for Bidirectional Texture Function Synthesis
A rough texture modelling involves a huge image data-set - the Bidirectional Texture Function (BTF). This 6-dimensional function depends on planar texture coordinates as well as o...
