We propose a high-performance, nonlinear, loop filter that reduces quantization noise over video frames composed of locally uniform regions (smooth, high frequency, texture, etc.)...
In this paper we propose a new watermarking technique where the watermark is embedded according to two keys. The first key is used to embed a code bit in a block of pixels. The se...
A new hierarchical Bayesian model is proposed for image segmentation based on Gaussian mixture models (GMM) with a prior enforcing spatial smoothness. According to this prior, the...

Non-rigid image registration is an ill-posed yet challenging problem due to its supernormal high degree of freedoms and inherent requirement of smoothness. Graph-cuts method is a p...
A new method for noise reduction using spatiotemporal smoothing is presented in this paper. The method is developed especially for reducing the noise that arises when acquiring vi...
