This paper presents a new generalized image block coding algorithm which covers fractal techniques, block transform techniques, and vector quantization as its special cases. The c...
Content based image retrieval (CBIR) has been well studied in the computer vision and multimedia community. Content free image retrieval (CFIR) methods, and their complementary cha...
The interpretation of natural scenes, generally so obvious and effortless for humans, still remains a challenge in computer vision. To allow the search of image-based documents i...
A new combinatorial characterization of a gray-tone image called Euler Vector is proposed. Euler number of a binary image is a well-known topological feature, which remains invari...
