Still-image processing algorithms are tailored to and depend crucially upon the properties of the class of images to which they are applied, for instance natural images in consumer...
We propose a method for segmentation of frontal human portraits from arbitrary unknown backgrounds. Semantic information is used to project the face into a normalized reference fr...

In 3D Video (3DV) applications, a reduced number of views plus depth maps are transmitted or stored. When there is a need to render virtual views in between the actual views, the ...

Automating the process of postmortem identification of deceased individuals based on dental characteristics is receiving increased attention. With the large number of victims enco...
An improved blind image quality assessment scheme that is based on the Watson's just noticeable difference (JND) modulated spread spectrum watermarking, is proposed. For the ...
The aim of this study is to propose an algorithm for simplifying color images. The assumption is made that a set of reference colors is available and that this set indicates which...
Wyner-Ziv video coding (WZVC) is a new paradigm for video compression with the prediction frames possibly only available at the decoder. It exploits the statistics between the sou...
Dynamic textures are image sequences with visual pattern repetition in time and space, such as smoke, flames, moving objects and so on. Dynamic texture synthesis is to provide a c...

Image defocus estimation is useful for several applications including deblurring, blur magnification, measuring image quality, and depth of field segmentation. In this paper, we p...
