Denoising is always a challenging problem in natural imaging and geophysical data processing. In this paper we consider the denoising of texture images using a nonlinear reaction-...
Estimating human age automatically via facial image analysis has lots of potential real-world applications, such as human computer interaction and multimedia communication. However...

Abstract--A snakuscule (a minuscule snake) is the simplest active contour that we were able to design while keeping the quintessence of traditional snakes: an energy term governed ...
This paper addresses object tracking in ultrasound images using a robust multiple model tracker. The proposed tracker has the following features: 1) it uses multiple dynamic models...
Abstract--Image denoising methods are often designed to minimize mean-squared error (MSE) within the subbands of a multiscale decomposition. However, most high-quality denoising re...
Abstract--We propose an algorithm for designing linear equalizers that maximize the structural similarity (SSIM) index between the reference and restored signals. The SSIM index ha...

Abstract--An efficient algorithm is presented for the computation of grayscale morphological operations with arbitrary 2-D flat structuring elements (S.E.). The required computing ...
The theories of signal sampling, filter banks, wavelets and "overcomplete wavelets" are well-established for the Euclidean spaces and are widely used in the processing a...
In this paper, a novel, low-complexity motion vector processing algorithm at the decoder is proposed for motion-compensated frame interpolation or frame rate up-conversion. We addr...
Abstract--In this paper, we present a complete and practical algorithm for the approximation of level-set-based curve evolution suitable for real-time implementation. In particular...
