A feature extraction method using the chaincode representation of fingerprint ridge contours is presented for use by Automatic Fingerprint Identification Systems. The representa...
In this paper we propose a novel approach to feature enhancement to enhance the quality of noisy images. Our approach is based on a phase-based feature detection algorithm, followe...
Skin tones, portraits in particular, are of critical importance in photography and video, but a number of factors, such as pigmentation irregularities (e.g., moles, freckles), irr...
In MPEG-4 scalable video coding, only a small portion of input data is coded in the base layer, and most signal components remain in enhancement layers. In this paper, we propose a...
Human vision takes time to adapt to large changes in scene intensity, and these transient adjustments have a profound effect on visual appearance. This paper offers a new operator...
