Fusion of images in the presence of noise is a challenging problem. Conventional fusion methods focus on aggregating prominent image features, which usually result in noise enhanc...
1 For the image classification task, the color histogram is widely used as an important color feature indicating the content of the image. However, the high-resolution color histog...
The H.264 hypothetical reference decoder (HRD) ensures interoperability and smooth playback of video. Because the encoded bit rate may not match the channel rate, buffering and ti...
Automatic road extraction is a critical feature for an efficient use of remote sensing imagery in most contexts. This paper proposes a robust geometric method to provide a first...
In this paper, we formulate the utility functions of distortion and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) which are generally used for the performance evaluation of video coding appli...
We introduce a method to improve performance of multiple-description coding based on legacy video coders with pre- and postprocessing. The pre- and post-processing setup is genera...
This paper addresses the issues of nonlinear edge-preserving image smoothing and segmentation. A ML-based approach is proposed which uses an iterative algorithm to solve the probl...
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optical ranging technique analogous to radar — detection of back-scattered light produces a signal that is temporally localized at times...

This paper presents a new statistical image segmentation algorithm, in which the texture features are modeled by Symmetric Alpha-Stable (SαS) distributions. These features are ef...
