Feature-based no-reference video quality assessment using Extra Trees

With the emergence of social networks and improvements in the internet speed, the video data has become an ever-increasing portion of the global internet traffic. Besides the content, the quality of a video sequence is an important issue at the user end wh ...

Angular Accuracy of Steerable Feature Detectors

Michaël Unser, Julien René Pierre Fageot, Arash Amini, Zsuzsanna Püspöki, John Paul Ward

The detection of landmarks or patterns is of interest for extracting features in biological images. Hence, algorithms for finding these keypoints have been extensively investigated in the literature, and their localization and detection properties are well ...

Shapes from pixels

Martin Vetterli, Arash Amini, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Mitra Fatemi

Continuous-domain visual signals are usually captured as discrete (digital) images. This operation is not invertible in general, in the sense that the continuous-domain signal cannot be exactly reconstructed based on the discrete image, unless it satisfies ...

Sampling and Reconstruction of Shapes with Algebraic Boundaries

Martin Vetterli, Arash Amini, Mitra Fatemi

We present a sampling theory for a class of binary images with finite rate of innovation (FRI). Every image in our model is the restriction of

\mathds{1}_{\{p\leq0\}}

to the image plane, where

\mathds{1}

denotes the indicator function and

p

is some r ...

On the Continuity of Characteristic Functionals and Sparse Stochastic Modeling

Michaël Unser, Julien René Pierre Fageot, Arash Amini

The characteristic functional is the infinite-dimensional generalization of the Fourier transform for measures on function spaces. It characterizes the statistical law of the associated stochastic process in the same way as a characteristic function specif ...

Sparsity and Infinite Divisibility

Michaël Unser, Arash Amini

We adopt an innovation-driven framework and investigate the sparse/compressible distributions obtained by linearly measuring or expanding continuous-domain stochastic models. Starting from the first principles, we show that all such distributions are neces ...

A Unified Formulation of Gaussian Versus Sparse Stochastic Processes-Part II: Discrete-Domain Theory

Michaël Unser, Arash Amini, Pouya Dehghani Tafti, Hagay Kirshner

This paper is devoted to the characterization of an extended family of continuous-time autoregressive moving average (CARMA) processes that are solutions of stochastic differential equations driven by white Levy innovations. These are completely specified ...

MMSE Estimation of Sparse Levy Processes

Michaël Unser, Arash Amini, Ulugbek Kamilov, Pedram Pad

We investigate a stochastic signal-processing framework for signals with sparse derivatives, where the samples of a Levy process are corrupted by noise. The proposed signal model covers the well-known Brownian motion and piecewise-constant Poisson process; ...

Bayesian Estimation for Continuous-Time Sparse Stochastic Processes

Michaël Unser, Arash Amini, Emrah Bostan, Ulugbek Kamilov

We consider continuous-time sparse stochastic processes from which we have only a finite number of noisy/noiseless samples. Our goal is to estimate the noiseless samples (denoising) and the signal in-between (interpolation problem). By relying on tools fro ...

On the Linearity of Bayesian Interpolators for Non-Gaussian Continuous-Time AR(1) Processes

Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz, Arash Amini, John Paul Ward

Bayesian estimation problems involving Gaussian distributions often result in linear estimation techniques. Nevertheless, there are no general statements as to whether the linearity of the Bayesian estimator is restricted to the Gaussian case. The two comm ...
