We consider the problem of characterization of spatial region data such as the regions of interest (ROIs) in medical images. We propose a method that efficiently extracts a k-dime...
This paper presents an objective metric for the perceived quality of low bit rate compressed video. Frames are decomposed into several frequency bands at multiple scales and a mot...
In this paper, we present a no-reference blur metric for images and video. The blur metric is based on the analysis of the spread of the edges in an image. Its perceptual signific...
In many multimedia applications, there is a need to authenticate a source that has been subjected to benign degradations in addition to potential tampering attacks. We develop a m...
Providing quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees over wireless packet networks requires thorough understanding and quantification of the interactions among the traffic source, the wi...
