In this paper we consider an application of spectral estimation to adaptive restoration of images degraded by additive white noise. Three adaptive techniques of restoration are compared with a non-adaptive technique. In the non-adaptive technique, the whole image is Wiener filtered by assuming a correlation model for the signal. In the adaptive methods, a) the spectral shape of the signal is kept constant, but the variance is adaptively estimated, b) the power spectrum of each block is adaptively estimated, c) the data is adaptively decorrelated in one dimension and filtered along the other.

The major purpose of this paper is to promote interchange between the fields of pattern recognition and communications, in the realm of statistical classification. The general class of second-order measures of quality for statistical classification is defined. The variety of members in this class that have been used by practitioners or proposed by theorists for numerical pattern-classification and signal waveform-classification are compared and contrasted. The several measures that are the most generally applicable are shown to be either equivalent to each other or characterizable in terms of each other, thereby revealing an inherent unity. For example, the ratio of between-class-scatter to within-class-scatter used in pattern recognition and the ratio of signal-energy to noise-energy used in communications are unified through an identification of signal with between-class-scatter and noise with within-class-scatter. Results on equivalences are stated and proved for waveform classification rather than numerical classification in order to complement the extensive literature on the latter, and to emphasize applicability to communications. This entails introduction of a scatter ratio for waveforms. In a companion paper, second-order measures of quality are used as a basis for a general nearestprototype signal-classification methodology; canonical signal features for this methodology are identified, and a general approach for determining appropriate class prototypes is given. These two papers provide an integrated approach to the design of a complete signal classifier, i.e., feature extraction and discriminant-functional design tailored to fit a minimumdistance discrimination rule.
The use of image quality measures in the design of processing algorithms and equipment is a difficult task. Realistic and useful images are complex and far from the threshold conditions under which psychophysical meas...

A new method of image coding by autoregressive (AR) synthesis is presented. The physics of image formation suggests that an image may be considered as a power spectrum. Using this formulation a Cosine transform of the sampled image is shown to yield a set of autocorrelations. These are used to find an equivalent AR model whose parameters are encoded for transmission. Compared to conventional Cosine transform coding, this method is shown to give superior resolution and is shown to suppress the "block-effects" present in block-by-block transform coding methods. Distinction between this method and linear predictive coding (LPC) used for speech data compression is made. Extensions and examples for two dimensional images are given.

Visual informatics is a field of interest not just among the information technology and computer science community, but also other related fields such as engineering, me- cal and health informatics and education starting in the early 1990s. Recently, the field is gaining more attention from researchers and industry. It has become a mul- disciplinary and trans-disciplinary field related to research areas such as computer vision, visualization, information visualization, real-time image processing, medical image processing, image information retrieval, virtual reality, augmented reality, - pressive visual mathematics, 3D graphics, multimedia-fusion, visual data mining, visual ontology, as well as services and visual culture. Various efforts has been - vested in different research, but operationally, many of these systems are not pro- nent in the mass market and thus knowledge and research on these phenomena within the mentioned areas need to be shared and disseminated. It is for this reason that the Visual Informatics Research Group from Universiti - bangsaan Malaysia (UKM) decided to spearhead this initiative to bring together experts in this very diversified but important research area so that more concerted efforts can be undertaken not just within the visual informatics community in Malaysia but from other parts of the world, namely, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and USA. This first International Visual Informatics Conference (IVIC 2009) was conducted collaboratively, by the visual informatics research community from the various public and private institutions of higher learning in Malaysia, and hosted by UKM.

The 2010 Pacific-Rim Conference on multimedia (PCM 2010) was held in Shanghai at Fudan University, during September 21–24, 2010. Since its inauguration in 2000, PCM has been held in various places around the Pacific Rim, namely Sydney (PCM 2000), Beijing (PCM 2001), Hsinchu (PCM 2002), Singapore (PCM 2003), Tokyo (PCM 2004), Jeju (PCM 2005), Zhejiang (PCM 2006), Hong Kong (PCM 2007), Tainan (PCM 2008), and Bangkok (PCM 2009). PCM is a major annual international conference organized as a forum for the dissemination of state-of-the-art technological advances and research results in the fields of theoretical, experimental, and applied multimedia analysis and processing. PCM 2010 featured a comprehensive technical program which included 75 oral and 56 poster presentations selected from 261 submissions from Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Italy, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, Norway, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, the UK, and the USA. Three distinguished researchers, Prof. Zhi-Hua Zhou from Nanjing University, Dr. Yong Rui from Microsoft, and Dr. Tie-Yan Liu from Microsoft Research Asia delivered three keynote talks to the conference. We are very grateful to the many people who helped to make this conference a s- cess. We would like to especially thank Hong Lu for local organization, Qi Zhang for handling the publication of the proceedings, and Cheng Jin for looking after the c- ference website and publicity. We thank Fei Wu for organizing the special session on large-scale multimedia search in the social network settings.
