Robust semantic labeling of image regions is a basic problem in representing and retrieving image/video content. We propose an SVM-MRF framework to model features and their spatia...
We describe a method for inferring tree-like vascular structures from 2D imagery. A Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm is employed to produce approximate samples from the p...
This paper studies a progressive image transmission technique over waveform channels. The Channel Optimized Vector Quantization codec (COVQ) [1] is applied to the image wavelet co...
Coding at the sample level in still image watermarking takes advantage of avoiding a non-optimum initial diversity stage, used in many watermarking systems for tailoring Gaussian ...
This paper introduces multi-scale tree-based approaches to image segmentation, using Rissanen's coding theoretic minimum description length (MDL) principle to penalize overly...
