In this paper, we analyze the formation of blocking artifacts as a result of quantization of the discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients. These artifacts are known to be the ...
This paper proposes an hybrid approach to estimate the 3D pose of an object. The integration of texture information based on image intensities in a more classical non-linear edge-...
An algorithm for video resolution enhancement is presented. The approach borrows from previous methods for still-image superresolution, introducing modifications better suited for...
In this paper, an automated algorithm to flatten lines from Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) images is presented. Due to the mechanics of the AFM, there is a curvature distortion (bo...

Halftone image watermarking techniques that allow automated extraction of the embedded watermark data are useful in a variety of document security and workflow applications. The p...
Initial studies have shown that automatic inference of high-level image quality or aesthetics is very challenging. The ability to do so, however, can prove beneficial in many appl...
In this paper, we describe a region-based active contour technique to perform image segmentation. We propose an energy functional that realizes an explicit trade-off between the (...

We propose a tracking system that is especially well-suited to tracking targets which change drastically in size or appearance. To accomplish this, we employ a fast, two phase tem...

This paper analyses the reconstruction of a 3-D scene from multiple images. The proposed approach uses a voxel representation for initializing an implicit radial basis function (R...
Reliable segmentation and motion tracking algorithms are required to achieve gesture detection and tracking for human-machine interaction. In this paper we present an efficient me...
