Graph cuts based interactive segmentation has become very popular over the last decade. In standard graph cuts, the extraction of foreground object in a complex background often le...
Markov Random Field (MRF) models with potentials learned from the data have recently received attention for learning the low-level structure of natural images. A MRF provides a pri...
We introduce a new image compression algorithm that allows progressive image reconstruction – both in resolution and in fidelity, with a fully embedded bitstream. The algorithm ...
Abstract. Mahalanobis distance has already proved its strength in human skin detection using a set of skin values. We present this work that uses automatic skin detection after an ...
We present a technique that provides progressive transmission and near-lossless compression in one single framework. The proposed technique produces a bitstream that results in pr...
