Video coding algorithms based on 3-D wavelet transforms exist which have a competitive rate-distortion performance and are very fast because motion compensation is not needed. The...
Some of the most convincing film and video effects are created in digital post-production by removing apparatus that supports or manipulates actors and objects. Wires and people, ...
Overcomplete transforms, like the Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform, offer more flexible signal representations than critically-sampled transforms, due to their properties of sh...
This paper proposes a new method of designing finitesupport wavelet filters, based on minimization of energy in key parts of the frequency domain. In particular this technique is ...
Segmentation in volumetric images deals with separating `objects' from their `background' in a given 3D data. Usually, one starts with `edge detectors' that give bi...
We propose a hierarchical disparity estimation algorithm with energy-based regularization. Initial disparity vectors are obtained from downsampled stereo images using a feature-ba...
Inverse halftoning is the process to retrieve a (gray) continuous-tone image from a halftone. Recently, machinelearning-based inverse halftoning techniques have been proposed. Dec...
We propose a method of efficient face description for facial image retrieval from a large data set. The novel descriptor is obtained by decomposing the face image into several com...

We propose an information-theoretic method for multi-phase image segmentation, in an active contour-based framework. Our approach is based on nonparametric density estimates, and ...

We extend a recently-proposed framework for the rate-distortion optimized transmission of packetized media. The original framework assumed that media packets each have a single arr...
