Matting refers to the problem of accurate foreground estimation in images and video. It is one of the key techniques in many image editing and film production applications, thus ...
Two temporally scalable video coding techniques, temporal subband coding (TSB) and predictive coding, are evaluated both theoretically and in practice to provide comparisons of co...
A statistical representation of three-dimensional shapes is introduced, based on a novel four-dimensional feature. The feature parameterizes the intrinsic geometrical relation of ...
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a fast automated whitenoise estimation method which gives reliable estimates in images with smooth and textured areas. This method is a b...
Recent methods based on interest points and local fingerprints have been proposed to perform robust CBCD (content-based copy detection) of images and video. They include two steps...
