We present a set of techniques for the synthesis of artificial images that depict branching structures like rivers, cracks, lightning, mountain ranges, or blood vessels. The centr...
The creation and rendering of realistic water scenes is one of the challenging tasks in Computer Graphics. To reproduce the illumination and colour inside water bodies an algorith...
Replica detection is a prerequisite for the discovery of copyright infringement and detection of illicit content. For this purpose, contentbased systems can be an efficient alter...
Recent research in image compression has focused on lossy compression algorithms. However, the baseline implementations of such algorithms generally use a universal quantization p...
Content-based image retrieval in astronomy needs methods that can deal with an image content made of noisy and diffuse structures. This motivates investigations on how information ...
