Initial studies have shown that automatic inference of high-level image quality or aesthetics is very challenging. The ability to do so, however, can prove beneficial in many appl...
The reassembly of fragments to reconstruct images and objects is a problem often encountered in several applications, ranging from archeology to medicine. In this paper we present...
A critical step in defect detection for semiconductorprocess is to align a test image against a reference. This includes both spatial alignment and grayscale alignment. For the la...
In this paper, we present a novel image interpolation method based on variational models with both smoothing and orientation constraints. By introducing the orientation constraint...
In this paper, a lapped orthogonal transform adapted for local directionality of an image is proposed and its application in adaptive image coding is presented. First, we address ...
