We develop a robust technique to find similar matches of human actions in video. Given a query video, Motion History Images (MHI) are constructed for consecutive keyframes. This i...
Most present day no-reference/blind image quality assessment (NR IQA) algorithms are distortion specific - i.e., they assume that the distortion affecting the image is known. Here...
In this paper the problem of optical flow and occlusion mask estimation is aborded. To that end, we consider a multi-label representation of the optical flow and we define an ener...

In this paper, we present a study of transferable belief model for automatic hair segmentation process. Firstly, we recall the transferable Belief Model. Secondly, we defined for ...
In low light environment, photographs taken with a high ISO setting suffer from significant noise. In this paper, we propose to use a near infrared (NIR) flash image, instead of a...
Intra prediction has been efficiently employed in block based image/video coding to remove the spatial redundancy. In this paper, we propose a position dependent linear intra pred...
Stereoscopic video will soon be delivered to the home through various channels. To make this feasible for some channels, the representation of the stereo video is modified to acco...
We propose a two component method for denoising multidimensional signals, e.g. images. The first component uses a dynamic programing algorithm of complexity O(N log N) to find an ...
General-purpose no-reference image quality assessment approaches still lag the advances in full-reference methods. Most no-reference methods are either distortion specific (i.e. t...

Signal degradation impacts the final quality of images acquired using remote sensing radiometer. The effectiveness of a restoration algorithm strongly depends on two main factors:...
