As digital cameras and online photo sharing services become more popular, digital images are growing exponentially on the Internet. Thus supporting more effective retrieval from l...
In this paper, we describe an automatic lighting adjustment method for browsing object images. From a set of images of an object, taken under different lighting conditions, we gen...

In this paper, we propose a novel face hallucination method to reconstruct a high-resolution face image from a lowresolution observation based on a set of high- and lowresolution ...
Tattoo images on human body have been routinely collected and used in law enforcement to assist in suspect and victim identification. However, the current practice of matching tat...

This paper presents a method for deblurring an image consisting of two layers (a foreground layer and a background layer) which have suffered different, unknown blurs. This is a s...
This paper presents a high-resolution image reconstruction method from low-resolution image sequence. It is difficult to recognize details from a low-resolution image because of s...
Current iris recognition systems usually regard poor quality iris images useless since defocused or partially occluded iris images may cause false acceptance. However, such a stra...
Due to the presence of speckle, segmentation of SAR images is generally acknowledged as a difficult problem. A large effort has been done in order to cope with the influence of sp...
Still-image processing algorithms are tailored to and depend crucially upon the properties of the class of images to which they are applied, for instance natural images in consumer...
