Initial studies have shown that automatic inference of high-level image quality or aesthetics is very challenging. The ability to do so, however, can prove beneficial in many appl...
Using statistical modeling in the wavelet domain, we address the problem of image denoising. Despite being effective, the denoised images can suffer from the Gibbs-like artifacts,...
In this paper we consider a hypothesis testing approach for detection of hiding in the least significant bit (LSB). This steganalysis problem is a composite hypothesis testing pro...
In this paper, we propose to use the Colored Pattern Appearance Model (CPAM) as a content representation for video scene break detection. This model represents a scene by means of...
This paper addresses the application of active contours or snakes for location and tracking of facial features. Conventional snake approaches find the position of the snake by fin...
