Local Binary Patterns as an Image Preprocessing for Face Authentication

Sébastien Marcel, Guillaume Heusch, Yann Rodriguez

One of the major problem in face authentication systems is to deal with variations in illumination. In a \mbox{realistic} scenario, it is very likely that the lighting conditions of the probe image does not correspond to those of the gallery image, hence t ...

Three-Dimensional Feature Detection Using Optimal Steerable Filters

Michaël Unser, François Aguet, Mathews Jacob

We present a framework for feature detection in 3-D using steerable filters. These filters can be designed to optimally respond to a particular type of feature by maximizing several Canny-like criteria. The detection process involves the analytical computa ...

Intra-Adaptive Motion-Compensated Lifted Wavelets for Video Coding

Pierre Vandergheynst, Oscar Divorra Escoda

This paper investigates intra-adaptive wavelets for video coding with frame-adaptive motion-compensated lifted wavelet transforms. With motion-compensated lifted wavelets, the temporal wavelet decomposition operates along motion trajectories. However, vali ...

Multiscale Active Contours

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Pierre Vandergheynst, Xavier Bresson

In this paper, we propose two approaches to define an evolution equation for the active contours in scale spaces. The evolution equation is based on the Polyakov functional that has been first introduced in physics and has been then used in image processin ...

Rate-distortion optimized geometrical image processing

Rahul Shukla

Since geometrical features, like edges, represent one of the most important perceptual information in an image, efficient exploitation of such geometrical information is a key ingredient of many image processing tasks, including compression, denoising and ...

Inter-Resolution Transform for Spatially Scalable Video Coding

Pierre Vandergheynst

Spatial scalability of video signals can be achieved with critically sampled spatial wavelet schemes but also with an overcomplete spatial representation. Critically sampled schemes struggle with the problem that critically sampled high-bands are shift-var ...

Design of Steerable Filters for Feature Detection Using Canny-Like Criteria

Michaël Unser, Mathews Jacob

We propose a general approach for the design of 2D feature detectors from a class of steerable functions based on the optimization of a Canny-like criterion. In contrast with previous computational designs, our approach is truly 2D and provides filters tha ...

Framing pyramids

Martin Vetterli, Minh Do

In 1983, Burt and Adelson introduced the Laplacian pyramid (LP) as a multiresolution representation for images. We study the LP using the frame theory, and this reveals that the usual reconstruction is suboptimal. We show that the LP with orthogonal filter ...

From error probability to information theoretic signal and image processing

Torsten Butz

The signal processing community is increasingly interested in using information theoretic concepts to build signal processing algorithms for a variety of applications. A general theory on how to apply the mathematical concepts of information theory to the ...

Splines: A Perfect Fit for Medical Imaging

Michaël Unser

Splines, which were invented by Schoenberg more than fifty years ago, constitute an elegant framework for dealing with interpolation and discretization problems. They are widely used in computer-aided design and computer graphics, but have been neglected i ...
