Image transmission over low-bandwidth channels can be speeded up if the image coding mechanism supports regions of interest (RoIs). By such a scheme, image parts not belonging to ...
In this paper, work on a new wavelet packet basis selection paradigm is reported which emphasizes the crucial role of quantization strategy being used. This paradigm is coupled wi...
In this paper we investigate the image authentication system SARI, proposed by C.Y. Lin and S.F. Chang [1], that distinguishes JPEG compression from malicious manipulations. In pa...
This paper presents a unified approach to colour image coding, content-based indexing, and retrieval for database applications. The binary space partitioning (BSP) tree, tradition...
Video segmentation is among the most important challenges of video processing and compression (MPEG-4 and MPEG-7). A drawback of classical methods is the computational cost due to...
The use of higher-order local autocorrelations as features for pattern recognition has been acknowledged since many years, but their applicability was restricted to relatively low...
The lifting scheme provides a general and flexible tool for the construction of wavelet decompositions and perfect reconstruction filter banks. In this paper we propose an adaptiv...
