In this paper we explore the problem of accurately segmenting a person from a video given only approximate location of that person. Unlike previous work which assumes that the app...
The spatial resolution of the human visual system (HVS) decreases rapidly away from the point of fixation (foveation point). By exploiting this fact, we propose a watermarking app...
The emerging MPEG-7 standard embodies a visual descriptor that will be associated with the dominant colors of an image. In this contribution, a threshold adaptation method for reg...
The objective measurement of blocking artifacts plays an important role in the design, optimization, and assessment of image and video coding systems. We propose a new approach th...
A new method for noise reduction using spatiotemporal smoothing is presented in this paper. The method is developed especially for reducing the noise that arises when acquiring vi...
