An improved blind image quality assessment scheme that is based on the Watson's just noticeable difference (JND) modulated spread spectrum watermarking, is proposed. For the ...
Gathering a large collection of images has been made quite easy by social and image sharing websites, e.g. flickr.com. However, using such collections faces the problem that they ...

Since health care on foods is drawing people's attention recently, a system that can record everyday meals easily is being awaited. In this paper, we propose an automatic foo...
We present a new method of magnification for textured images featuring scale invariance properties. The procedure preserves the visual aspect as well as the statistical properties...
We address the problem of shape based classification. We interpret the shape of an object as a probability distribution governing the location of the points of the object. An imag...
Abstract. Shape features applied to object recognition has been actively studied since the beginning of the field in 1950s and remain a viable alternative to appearance based metho...

In this work, a technique addressed to the reliable identification of very similar filled-in forms, with a reject option, is proposed. The method is based on the automatic detecti...
Joint alignment for an image ensemble can rectify images in the spatial domain such that the aligned images are as similar to each other as possible. This important technology has...
We present in this communication a new biometric system based on the use of hand veins acquired by an infrared imager. After the preprocessing stage and binarization, the vein imag...
