This chapter presents an approach for texture and object recognition that uses scale- or affine-invariant local image features in combination with a discriminative classifier. Text...
The modified Differential Pulse Coded Modulation (DPCM) codec with multi-rate processing has been shown to able to code source with monotonically decreasing spectrum efficiently a...
Ray tracing techniques need supersampling to reduce aliasing and/or noise in the final image. Since not all the pixels in the image require the same number of rays, supersampling...
Many edge detection schemes suffer from the lack of image quality at the global level. Global properties are more vital in grayscale images due to loss of hue and texture. This pa...
This paper presents a new keypoint-based approach to nearduplicate images detection. It consists of three steps. Firstly, the keypoints of images are extracted and then matched. S...
