Abstract. It is well-known that the lossless compression of color-indexed images can be improved if a suitable reordering of the palette is performed before encoding the images. In...
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...
