Motion estimation methods based on differential techniques proved to be very useful in the context of video analysis, but have a limited employment in classical video compression because, though accurate, the dense motion vector field they produce requires ...
The standard separable 2-D wavelet transform (WT) has recently achieved a great success in image processing because it provides a sparse representation of smooth images. However, it fails to efficiently capture 1-D discontinuities, like edges or contours. ...
This paper presents a framework for coarse scene geometry estimation, based on sparse representations of omnidirectional images with geometrical basis functions. We introduce a correlation model that relates sparse components in different views with local ...
The standard separable two-dimensional (2-D) wavelet transform (WT) has recently achieved a great success in image processing because it provides a sparse representation of smooth images. However, it fails to capture efficiently one-dimensional (1-D) disco ...
This paper addresses the problem of efficient representation of scenes captured by distributed omnidirectional vision sensors. We propose a novel geometric model to describe the correlation between different views of a 3-D scene. We first approximate the c ...
New breakthroughs in image coding possibly rely in signal decomposition through non-separable basis functions. The work proposed in this paper provides an adaptive way of representing images as a sum of two-dimensional features. It presents a low bit-rate ...
This paper presents an efficient approach to rotation discriminative template matching. A hierarchical search divided in three steps is proposed. First, gradient magnitude is compared to rapidly localise points with high probability of match. This result i ...
In the last decade we observed an increasing interaction between data compression and sparse signals approximations. Sparse approximations are desirable because they compact the energy of the signals in few elements and correspond to a structural simplific ...
This paper addresses the problem of distributed image coding in camera neworks. The correlation between multiple images of a scene captured from different viewpoints can be effiiciently modeled by local geometric transforms of prominent images features. Su ...
Detection of salient image regions is useful for applications like image segmentation, adaptive compression, and region-based image retrieval. In this paper we present a novel method to determine salient regions in images using low-level features of lumina ...
