Abstract. The performance of face recognition systems that use twodimensional images is dependent on consistent conditions such as lighting, pose, and facial appearance. We are dev...
—We study the efficiency of deblocking algorithms for improving visual signals degraded by blocking artifacts from compression. Rather than using only the perceptually questiona...
This paper presents an efficient, personalizable and yet completely automatic algorithm for enhancing the brightness, tonal balance, and contrast of faces in thumbnails of online...
Texture mapping has become indispensable in image synthesis as an inexpensive source of rich visual detail. Less obvious, but just as useful, is its ability to mask image errors d...

In recent years, new semistatic word-based byte-oriented text compressors, such as Tagged Huffman and those based on Dense Codes, have shown that it is possible to perform fast d...
