A region-based color image indexing and retrieval algorithm is presented. As a basis for the indexing, a novel K-Means segmentation algorithm is used, modified so as to take into account the coherence of the regions. A new color distance is also defined for this algorithm. Based on the extracted regions, characteristic features are estimated using color, texture and shape information. An important and unique aspect of the algorithm is that, in the context of similarity-based querying, the user is allowed to view the internal representation of the submitted image and the query results. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of the algorithm. The development of an intelligent image content-based search engine for the World-Wide Web is also presented, as a direct application of the presented algorithm.

A novel robust scheme is presented, for the efficient transmission of image sequences over unreliable channels. The proposed scheme is based on an efficient error-resilient wavelet video coder and is able to produce embedded bitstreams. The robust coder is evaluated for the transmission of image sequences over binary symmetric channels and is shown to have very promising performance.

Bringing much new functionality, MPEG-4 offers numerous capabilities and is expected to be the future standard for multimedia applications. In this paper a novel authoring tool fully exploiting the 3D functionalities of the MPEG-4 standard is described. It is based upon an open and modular architecture able to progress with MPEG-4 versions and it is easily adaptable to newly emerging better and higher-level authoring features.

In this paper, we present a hidden Markov model (HMM) approach to hyperspectral image classification. HMMs have been widely used in speech recognition to model a doubly stochastic process with a hidden state process that can be only observed through a sequence of observations. Since the temporal variability of a speech signal is similar to the spectral variability of a remotely sensed image pixel vector, the same idea can be applied to hyperspectral image classification. It makes use of a hidden Markov process to characterize the spectral correlation and band-to-band variability where the model parameters are determined by the spectra of the pixel vectors that form the observation sequences. Experiments demonstrate that the HMM can better describe the unobserved spectral properties so as to improve classification performance.

Most spectral unmixing techniques require complete a priori knowledge of spectral endmembers in an image scene to be implemented. This knowledge is usually obtained from a complete hyperspectral image scene in either a supervised or unsupervised fashion, which prohibits real-time implementation. In this paper, we present a unique constrained spectral unmixing technique, which develops this knowledge in real-time on a pixel-by-pixel basis. Experiments using HYDICE data were conducted to demonstrate this proposed real-time approach for target detection and classification in hyperspectral imagery. Small modifications to the real-time algorithm were made in the experimental section to alleviate practical problems associated with a true pixel-by-pixel implementation.

Target detection does not necessarily yield target classification since the detected targets may belong to different classes and cannot be differentiated one from another by target detection. This often occurs when no prior target knowledge is available. In order to resolve this dilemma, four measures are proposed for target discrimination in this paper, two of which are designed based on the Bhattacharyya distance and the other two are derived from the concept of the matched filter. They will be used to cluster the detected anomalies into different types of targets in an unsupervised manner. These four target discrimination measures take advantage of the second-order statistics of the image data to account for sample spectral correlation. Consequently, they all outperform the commonly used single-pixel based similarity measures, such as spectral angle mapper (SAM), Euclidean distance. An experiment-based quantitative study is conducted for their performance evaluation. Interestingly, all these four measures perform very similarly.

Error diffusion halftoning is a popular method of producing frequency modulated (FM) halftones. In FM halftoning the dot size and shape is fixed (equal to one pixel) and the dot frequency is varied in accordance to the graylevel values of the underlying grayscale image. We generalize error diffusion to produce FM halftones with user controlled dot size and shape using block quantization and a block filter in the feedback loop. We call this modified quantization and feedback process block error diffusion. The block filters are designed from well known scalar error filter prototypes and retain their properties. Further, we show that choosing a structured block filter results in an efficient parallel implementation of block error diffusion.
