Fuzzy Connectedness is an important image segmentation routine for image processing of medical images. It is often used in preparation for surgery and sometimes during surgery. It...
Markov random field (MRF) theory has widely been applied to segmentation in noisy images. This paper proposes a new MRF method. First, it couples the original labeling MRF with a ...
A fast mode decision method for Intra prediction in H.264 is proposed in this work to reduce the encoder complexity. The proposed algorithm adopts a multi-stage sequential mode de...
