In this paper we introduce a novel optimization framework for hierarchical data clustering and apply it to the problem of unsupervised texture segmentation. The proposed objective...
Wavelet zerotree encoding has been proven to be an efficient way of compressing still images. Two well-known zerotree encoding algorithms, Embedded Zerotree Encoding (EZW) and Se...
We describe a system for the texture-based direct volume visualization of large data sets on a PC cluster equipped with GPUs. The data is partitioned into volume bricks in object ...
This paper contains two contributions to very-low-bitrate video coding. First, we show that in contrast to common practice incremental techniques for rate-distortion optimization ...
In this paper Boolean filters and a variation of these, FIR-Boolean hybrid filters are proposed for realizing the prediction stages of a multiresolution lossless image compression...
