In this paper we address visualcommunications via print-and-scan channels from an information-theoretic point of view as communications with side information that targets quality enhancement of visual data at the output of this type of channels. The solution to this problem addresses important aspects of multimedia data processing and management. A practical approach to side information communications for printed documents based on Wyner-Ziv and Gray setups is analyzed in the paper that assumes two separated communications channels where an appropriate distributed coding should be elaborated. The printing channel is considered to be a direct visual channel for images ("analog" channel with degradations). The "digital channel" is considered to be an appropriate auxiliary channel exploited to communicate the information exploited for quality enhancement of printed-and-scanned image. We demonstrate both theoretically and practically how one can benefit from this sort of "distributed paper communications". (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We are living in the Information Age, and information has become a critically important component of our life. Due to the success of the Internet, the amount of available information, including immense volumes of visual information, is growing explosively. Therefore means for its faultless circulation and handling are urgently required. Considerable research efforts are dedicated today to address this necessity, but they are seriously hampered by the lack of a common agreement about "What actually is visual information?" Without answering this question, all our remarkable efforts inevitably end up as a plain alchemy. I am trying to rind out a remedy for this bizarre and absurd situation. I propose my own definition of information (derived from the Kolmogorov's complexity theory), and from this point of view, attempt to revise the state of the art of contemporary imageprocessing convention.

This paper deals with the joint use of connected operators and image inpainting for image filtering. Connected operators filter the image by merging its flat zones while preserving contour information. image inpainting restores the values of an image for a destroyed or consciously masked subregion of the image domain. In the present paper, it will be shown that image inpainting can be combined with connected operators to perform an efficient geometrical filtering technique. First, connected operators are presented and their drawbacks for certain applications are highlighted. Second, image inpainting methodology is introduced and a structural image inpainting algorithm is described. Finally, a general filtering scheme is proposed to show how the drawbacks of connected operators can be efficiently solved by structural image inpainting.

Motion-compensated temporal filtering is an open-loop coding technique, which generally employs a motion-compensated update step. Although the update step is essential at the encoder for good rate-distortion efficiency, it might be skipped at the decoder for benefits like lower complexity and lower playout delay. Previous investigations showed that skipping the update step at the decoder results in some quality degradation at high rates. In this paper we analyze how this degradation arises and also propose a simple method to reduce this degradation. The proposed solution can also be implemented as a post-processing procedure after conventional decoding without the update step. Experimental results show that the degradation in quality is reduced by half. For our t+2D wavelet coder, this gives a gain of similar to 1.0 - 1.5 dB at high bit-rates.

This paper deals with a view interpolation problem using multiple images captured with a circular camera array. An inverse filtering method for reconstructing a virtual image at the center of the camera array is proposed. First, we generate a candidate image by adding all correspondence pixel values based on multiple layers assumed in a scene. Second, we model a linear relationship between the desired virtual image and the candidate image, and then derive the inverse filter to reconstruct the virtual image. Since we can derive the inverse filter independent of the scene structure, the proposed method requires no depth estimation. Simulation results using synthetic images show that increasing the number of cameras and layers improves the quality of the virtual image.

In this paper, we propose a maximum-entropy expectation-maximization algorithm. We use the proposed algorithm for density estimation. The maximum-entropy constraint is imposed in order to ensure smoothness of the estimated density function. The exact derivation of the maximum-entropy expectation-maximization algorithm requires determination of the covariance matrix combined with the maximum entropy likelihood function, which is difficult to solve directly. We therefore introduce a new lower-bound for the EM algorithm derived by using the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality to obtain a suboptimal solution. We use the proposed algorithm for function interpolation and image segmentation. We propose the use of the EM algorithm for image recovery from randomly sampled data and signal reconstruction from randomly scattered sensors. We further propose to use our approach to maximum-entropy expectation-maximization (MEEM) in all of these applications. Computer simulation experiments are used to demonstrate the performance of our algorithm in comparison to existing methods.

Have you ever lamented, "I wish I had taken a different picture of that 'Kodak Moment' when everyone was smiling and no one blinked"? With image recomposition, we strive to deliver the "one-click fix" experience to customers so they can easily create the perfect pictures that they never actually took. To accomplish this, a graphic user interface was created that integrates existing and new algorithms, including face detection, facial feature location, face recognition, expression recognition, face appearance and pose matching, and seamless blending. Advanced modes include face relighting. This system is capable of performing image recomposition from a. mixture of videos and still photos, with ease of use and a high degree of automation.
