For an image, texture unit (TU) is a small complete unit which characterizes the local texture of a given pixel and its neighborhood. Recently, TU-based approaches have been widel...
Nonlocal-means (NL-means) is an image denoising method that replaces each pixel by a weighted average of all the pixels in the image. Unfortunately, the method requires the comput...
In this paper, we propose a distributed 3D dynamic mesh coding system. The system is based on Slepian and Wolf’s and Wyner and Ziv’s information-theoretic results. Our system ...
The objective of image stabilization is to prevent image blurring caused by the relative motion between the camera and the scene during the image integration time. In this paper w...
Background subtraction is an essential element in most object tracking and video surveillance systems. The success of this low-level processing step is highly dependent on the qua...
In this paper we deal with the inpainting problem and with the problem of finding text in images. We first review many of the methods used for structure and texture inpaintings....
The Mixed Raster Content (MRC) document compression standard (ITU T.44) specifies a multi-layer multi-resolution representation of a compound document. The model is very efficie...
This paper addresses the shape-based segmentation problem using level sets. In particular, we propose a fast algorithm to solve the piece-wise constant Chan-Vese segmentation mode...
In this work, we propose a new image rotation algorithm. The main feature of our approach is the symmetric reversibility, which means that when using the same algorithm for the co...
This paper revisits the problem of source-channel coding for error-resilient video streaming. We propose a new method to enable adaptive redundancy in the bitstream: fine-grain r...
