We study the problem of representing images within a multimedia Database Management System (DBMS), in order to support fast retrieval operations without compromising storage efficiency. To achieve this goal, we propose new image coding techniques which combine a wavelet representation, embedded coding of the wavelet coefficients, and segmentation of image-domain regions in the wavelet domain. A bitstream is generated in which each image region is encoded independently of other regions, without having to explicitly store information describing the regions. Simulation results show that our proposed algorithms achieve coding performance which compares favorably, both perceptually and objectively, to that achieved using state-of-the-art image/video coding techniques while additionally providing region-based support.
A central problem in stereo matching using correlation techniques lies in selecting the size of the search window. Small windows contain only a small number of data points, and thus are very sensitive to noise and the...

Stereo computes the distance of objects, "their depth", from two images of two cameras using the triangulation principle. Points of imaged objects are mapped in different locations in the two stereo images. ...

Stereo computation is just one of the vision problems where the presence of outliers cannot be neglected. Most standard algorithms make unrealistic assumptions about noise distributions, which leads to erroneous resul...

Matching of appearance-based object representations using eigenimages is computationally very demanding. Most commonly, to recognize an object in an image, parts of the input image are projected onto the eigenspace an...

Adopting the point-neighbourhood definition of topology, which we think may in some cases help acquire a very good insight of digital topologies, we unify the proof technique of the results on 4-connectedness and on 8...

Presents an efficient method which uses two neighboring frames in image sequences for target identification. Using statistical information about the background noise and candidate regions' noise after background registration, we can determine those candidate regions that have the same or similar noise distributions to the background's which should be background regions, and those candidate regions that have different noise distributions from the background's which should be the target region. In particular, when there is only one target in the image, we can simply determine that the candidate region whose noise distribution is most different from the background's is the true target.

Matching confidence is an important element for evaluating image matching quality. A method is presented which uses the technique of tests of hypotheses to determine image matching confidence under a certain testing level. The authors use similarity measurement values to be the statistics. Experimental results with large real images prove the effectiveness of the method to determine image matching confidence.
Since the mid-1970s, a large number of visual inspection systems and algorithms for industrial inspection have been developed. To be acceptable in industry, vision systems must be inexpensive, within the speed of the ...
