A hierarchical algorithm is presented for determining the similarity and equivalence of document images. Features extracted from the CCIIT fax-compressed representations of two im...
It is now widely acknowledged that analyzing the intrinsic geometrical features of the underlying image is essential in many applications including image processing. In order to a...
The suitability of polar representation for quantitative image processing tasks is investigated. The classical colour polar-based representations (HLS, HSV, etc.) lead to brightne...
A new method for the lossy compression of segmentation maps is presented. In the first stage of the proposed algorithm, region boundary segments are coded, providing a coarse poly...
This paper proposes a data pruning-based compression scheme to improve the rate-distortion relation of compressed images and video sequences. The original frames are pruned to a s...
