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 ...
Low bit rate image coding is an important problem regarding applications such as storage on low memory devices or streaming data on the internet. The state of the art in image compression is to use 2-D wavelets. The advantages of wavelet bases lie in their ...
In this paper, we address the problem of scrambling regions of interest in a video sequence. We target applications such as video surveillance preserving privacy, anonymous video communications, or TV news safeguarding the anonymity of a source. We propose ...
An encoder/decoder system for 3D volumetric medical data is proposed. The system allows fast access to any 2D image by decoding only the relevant information from each subband image and thus provides minimum decoding time. This will be of immense use for t ...
Video signals are sequences of natural images, where images are often modeled as piecewise-smooth signals. Hence, video can be seen as a 3D piecewise-smooth signal made of piecewise-smooth regions that move through time. Based on the piecewise-smooth model ...
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 ...
Natural images are often modeled through piecewise-smooth regions. Region edges, which correspond to the contours of the objects, become, in this model, the main information of the signal. Contours have the property of being smooth functions along the dire ...
This paper introduces a simple, fast, and efficient algorithm for image change detection in the compressed domain. The proposed technique operates directly on Discrete Cosine Transformed (DCT-ed) data which makes it suitable for processing compressed bitst ...
In this paper we introduce a low complexity and accurate technique for target image search and retrieval. This method, which oper- ates directly in the compressed JPEG domain, addresses two of the CBIR challenges stated by The Benchathlon Network regarding ...
This paper introduces an algorithm for sparse approximation in redundant dictionaries, called the M-Term Pursuit (MTP), based on the matching pursuit approach (MP). This algorithm decomposes the signal into a linear combination of selected atoms, chosen to ...
