Towards visual quality rather than pixel-wise fidelity, we propose an image coding scheme integrated with edge-based inpainting and texture synthesis. In this scheme, an original...
A new concept and algorithm are presented for noniterative robust estimation of piecewise smooth curves of maximal edge strength in small image windows – typically ¢¡£ to...
In this paper, we propose a Markov random field (MRF) image segmentation model which aims at combining color and texture features. The theoretical framework relies on Bayesian est...
Wavelet-domain hidden Markov tree (HMT) model has been recently proposed and applied to image processing, e.g., image segmentation. A new multiscale image segmentation method, cal...
Color and texture have been widely used in image segmentation; however, their performance is often hindered by scene ambiguities, overlapping objects, or missing parts. In this pa...
