Abstract--The goal of this work is twofold. First, we demonstrate that an advantage can be gained by using local cosine bases over wavelets to encode images that contain periodic t...
Abstract--We address the problem of computing a local orientation map in a digital image. We show that standard image gray level quantization causes a strong bias in the repartitio...
Region-based functionality offered by the MPEG-4 video compression standard is also appealing for still images, for example to permit object-based queries of a still-image database...
Many images--especially those used for page design on web pages--as well as videos contain visible text. If these text occurrences could be detected, segmented, and recognized auto...
Abstract. In this paper, we present an image retrieval system that employs both the color and spatial information of images to facilitate the retrieval process. The basic unit used...
—We present a new method for synthesizing novel views of a 3D scene from two or three reference images in full correspondence. The core of this work is the use and manipulation o...
Abstract— This paper reports a novel method for fully automated segmentation that is based on description of shape and its variation using point distribution models (PDM’s). An...
Abstract— The adaptive contrast enhancement (ACE) algorithm, which uses contrast gains (CG’s) to adjust the highfrequency components of images, is a well-known technique for me...
—We introduce a new geometrical framework based on which natural flows for image scale space and enhancement are presented. We consider intensity images as surfaces in the (x; I...
