Motion is one of the most important types of information contained in natural video, but direct use of motion information in the design of video quality assessment algorithms has ...
A popular color management standard for controlling color reproduction is the ICC color profile. The core of the ICC profile is a look-up-table which maps a regular grid of devi...
Image Cube Trajectory (ICT) analysis is a new and robust method to estimate the 3D structure of a scene from a set of 2D images. For a moving camera each 3D point is represented b...
In this work, we propose a new grid conversion algorithm between the hexagonal lattice and the orthogonal (a.k.a. Cartesian) lattice. The conversion process, named H2O, is easy to...
Iris pattern is commonly regarded as a kind of phenotypic feature without relation to genes. In our previous work, we argued that iris texture is race related, and its genetic inf...
Retrieval in a multimedia database usually involves combining information from different modalities of data, such as text and images. However, all modalities of the data may not b...

We consider a recent parametric level-set segmentation approach where the implicit interface is the zero level of a continuous function expanded onto compactly supported radial ba...
Many natural textures comprise structural patterns and show strong self-similarity. We use affine symmetry to segment an image into self-similar regions; that is a patch of textu...
Wyner-Ziv (WZ) video coding – a particular case of distributed video coding (DVC) – is a new video coding paradigm based on two major Information Theory results: the Slepian-W...
This paper presents a new method for segmentation of images into large regions that reflect the real world objects present in a scene. It explores the feasibility of utilizing sp...
