—In this paper, we present fast and efficient methods for the lossy encoding of object boundaries that are given as eight-connect chain codes. We approximate the boundary by a p...
—In a standard transform coding scheme of images or video, the decoder can be implemented by a table-lookup technique without the explicit use of an inverse transformation. In th...
Abstract—Diffusions are useful for image processing and computer vision because they provide a convenient way of smoothing noisy data, analyzing images at multiple scales, and en...
—As the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) has become an international standard for image compression, we present techniques that allow the processing of an image in the “...
— Two-dimensional (2-D) edge detection can be performed by applying a suitably selected optimal edge half-filter in n directions. Computationally, such a two-dimensional n-direc...
Abstract— Our noncausal, nonparametric, multiscale, Markov random field (MRF) model is capable of synthesising and capturing the characteristics of a wide variety of textures, f...
Abstract—We propose a method for the reconstruction of signals and images observed partially through a linear operator with a large support (e.g., a Fourier transform on a sparse...
