Rotation of the binary image of a document page for correcting the skew in the case of OCR or signature verification systems entails disfigurement of the shape of the characters, ...
The paper presents a novel coding technique based on approximate geometry for images taken from arbitrary recording positions around a 3-D scene. Such data structures occur in ima...
In many Earth observation missions, a large amount of data is collected by the on-board sensors, and must be transmitted to ground through a channel with limited capacity; in this...
This paper presents a new approach to the tracking of regions in an image sequence. Unlike most other methods, the proposed approach can handle topology changes, i.e., regions may...

Registration is a fundamental task in image processing and quite a few registration techniques have been developed in various fields. In this paper we propose a novel graphreprese...

In this paper, a hierarchical genetic algorithm for disparity estimation is presented. The goal, to estimate reliable disparity fields with low computational cost, is reached usin...

* In this paper, we present a study of hierarchically characterizing image content from coarse level to fine level conducted using a series of shape features as a case in point. I...
In this paper, we apply the complexity?regularization principle to Poisson imaging. We formulate a natural distortion measure in image space, and present a connection between comp...
We develop an information?theoretic analysis of dependencies between image wavelet coefficients. The dependencies are measured using mutual information, which has a direct link wi...
This paper presents a novel face-assisted video coding scheme to enhance the visual quality of the face regions in video telephony applications. A skin-color based face detection ...
