In the early stages of visual information processing one of the most fundamental and complex task is segmentation. This process is used to divide images or image sequences into meaningful regions or objects. Such a representation is definitely needed to go ...
Compact or efficient representation for either images or image sequences is key operation to performing image and video processing tasks, such as compression, analysis, etc. The efficiency of an approximation is evaluated by the sparsity measure of the app ...
This paper presents a highly flexible video coding scheme (MP3D), based on the use of a redundant 3-D spatio-temporal dictionary of functions. Directionality and anisotropic scaling are key ingredients to the spatial components, that form a rich collection ...
In this paper, we propose a new variational model to segment an object belonging to a given shape space using the active contour method, a geometric shape prior and the Mumford-Shah functional. The core of our model is an energy functional composed by thre ...
This chapter discusses the problem of coding images using very redundant libraries of waveforms, also referred to as dictionaries. We start with a discussion of the shortcomings of classical approaches based on orthonormal bases. More specifically, we show ...
We address the problem of coding video signals in the presence of correlated video side information. The correlated video signals may originate from cameras that monitor the same scene from different view points. We utilize motion-compensated temporal wave ...
Perceptual prefiltering is the process of enhancing relevant portions of an image or of a video, and of simplifying contextual information in order to improve the perceived quality or the compression ratio. In this paper, we discuss the results of subjecti ...
The problem of efficiently representing and approximating digital data is an open challenge and it is of paramount importance for many applications. This dissertation focuses on the approximation of natural signals as an organized combination of mutually c ...
Segmentation of moving objects in image sequences plays an important role in video processing and analysis. Evaluating the quality of segmentation results is necessary to allow the appropriate selection of segmentation algorithms and to tune their paramete ...
