The general image quality equation (GIQE) [Leachtenauer et al., Appl. Opt. 36, 8322-8328 (1997)] is an empirical formula for predicting the quality of imagery from a given incoher...
In this paper we propose a geometrical entropy coder to compress images with geometry. Our proposed scheme works on quantized coefficients of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT)....
The current standard image-compression approaches rely on fairly simple predictions, using either block- or wavelet-based methods. While many more sophisticated texture-modeling a...
This article describes the technologies used for the various runs submitted by the University of Geneva in the context of the 2004 ImageCLEF competition. As our expertise is mainly...
This paper outlines a retail sales prediction and product recommendation system that was implemented for a chain of retail stores. The relative importance of consumer demographic ...
