Sparse coding which encodes the original signal in a sparse signal space, has shown its state-of-the-art performance in the visual codebook generation and feature quantization pro...
Many technical imaging applications, like coding "images" of digital elevation maps, require extracting regions of compressed images in which the pixel values are within...
A face image relighting method using locally constrained global optimization is presented in this paper. Based on the empirical fact that common radiance environments are locally h...
The study presented in this paper analyses descriptions extracted with MPEG-7-descriptors from visual content from the statistical point of view. Good descriptors should generate ...
We present a simple, fast, and effective method to detect defects on textured surfaces. Our method is unsupervised and contains no learning stage or information on the texture bei...
