This paper introduces a very low complexity visual masking algorithm for the JPEG2000 image compression standard and evaluates its impact on the visual image quality by means of t...
The human visual system plays a key role in the final perceived quality of the compressed images. It is therefore desirable to allow system designers and users to take advantage o...
Perceptual image quality metrics have explicitly accounted for perceptual characteristics of the human visual system (HVS) by modeling sensitivity to subband noise as the just-not...
We present a new approach for enhancing local scene contrast by unsharp masking over arbitrary surfaces under any form of illumination. Our adaptation of a well-known 2D technique...
We present a locallY adaptivE Non-lInear (YENI) filter to obtain the unsharp mask of an image. The unsharp mask obtained by the YENI filter preserves the edges in the image while ...
