We consider the Wyner-Ziv (WZ) problem of lossy compression where the decompressor observes a noisy version of the source, whose statistics are unknown. A new family of WZ coding a...
Recently, various non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) techniques have been developed for computers to generate images of different artistic styles automatically. Due to the complexi...
A two layer coding algorithm for high dynamic range images is discussed. In the first layer, a low dynamic range image is encoded by a conventional codec, and then the residual in...
Abstract. In this paper we propose a two-step mutual informationbased algorithm for medical image segmentation. In the first step, the image is structured into homogeneous regions,...

This paper proposes an embedded rate scalable wavelet-based image coding algorithm. We introduce a simple and efficient approach for coding the positions and the signs of the wave...
