This paper proposes a novel approach for robust face detection based on our enhanced Hausdorff Distance (HD). A major aim of this research is to achieve a highly efficient method ...
Shift variance and poor directional selectivity, two major disadvantages of the discrete wavelet transform, have previously been circumvented either by using highly redundant, non...

Image composition (or mosaicing) has attracted a growing attention in recent years as one of the main elements in video analysis and representation. In this paper we deal with the...
The paper discusses the role of invariance in image processing, specifically the desire to discriminate against unwanted variations in the scene while maintaining the power to tel...

Pre-processing algorithms improve the quality of a compression system by removing unimportant data before encoding. This enhances both the visual quality and coding efficiency of ...

In this paper, we present a novel fidelity constraint for the image enhancement problem by exploiting the motion vectors of a compressed video bit-stream. These vectors establish ...
The type of representation used in describing shape can have a significant impact on the effectiveness of a recognition strategy. Shape has been represented by its bounding curve ...
In the early 1990s, the state-of-the-art in commercial chromosome image acquisition was grayscale. Automated chromosome classification was based on the grayscale image and boundar...
