There is a multicore platform that is currently concentrating an enormous attention due to its tremendous potential in terms of sustained performance: the NVIDIA Tesla boards. The...
—Salient areas in natural scenes are generally regarded as areas which the human eye will typically focus on, and finding these areas is the key step in object detection. In com...
Context-based adaptive entropy coding is an essential feature of modern image compression algorithms; however, the design of these coders is non-trivial due to the balance that mu...
In this paper, we present a VLSI architecture for separable 2-D Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Based on 1-D DWT Recursive Pyramid Algorithm (RPA), a complete 2-D DWT output sch...
Fractal image encoding is a computationally intensive method of compression due to its need to find the best match between image sub-blocks by repeatedly searching a large virtual...
