Pre-processing algorithms improve the quality of a compression system by removing unimportant data before encoding. This enhances both the visual quality and coding efficiency of ...

This paper presents an approach for image and video scaling using multirate signal processing. The main objective is to scale images with arbitrary rational scaling ratio without ...
In this paper we present a framework combining differential geometry and scale-space to show that local geometric invariants of image contours such as tangent, curvature and deriv...
This paper presents a new restoration approach to reduce coding artifacts in block-transform image coding. Di erent from conventional restoration techniques, the proposed one is n...
The Minimum-Entropy Clustering (MEC) algorithm proposed in this paper provides an optimal method for addressing the non-stationarity of a source with respect to entropy coding. Th...
