The two major problems raised by a region-based image retrieval system are the automatic definition and description of regions. In this paper we first present a technique of unsup...
In progressive joint source-channel coding of images, experiments show that optimizing rate allocation according to PSNR criteria and according to rate criteria produce essentiall...
In kernel density estimation methods, an approximation of the data probability density function is achieved by locating a kernel function at each data location. The smoothness of ...
In this paper we consider face recognition from sets of face images and, in particular, recognition invariance to illumination. The main contribution is an algorithm based on the ...
Existing wavelet-based image denoising techniques all assume a probability model of wavelet coefficients that has zero mean, such as zero-mean Laplacian, Gaussian, or generalized ...
