This paper describes the application of belief propagation methods to image fusion within a complex wavelet decomposition (the Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform: DT-CWT). Belief propagation within each transform subband iterates through a lattice based Bayesian belief network. This leads to precis…
Error concealment (EC) is one of the target applications of inpainting techniques. Some methods combine the estimated lost motion vectors (MVs) with the exemplar-based inpainting technique to recover the lost regions. Due to the erroneous motion vectors that might indicate a moving object as backgro…
Boundaries and lines in medical images are important structures as they can delineate between tissue types, organs, and membranes. Although, a number of image enhancement and segmentation methods have been proposed to detect lines, none of these have considered line artefacts, which are more difficu…
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has over the years evolved to be one of the most promising remote sensing modalities for large-scale monitoring of the ocean and maritime activity. The detection of ships at sea in SAR imagery is a challenging task, as it requires the detection of small targets with li…
Previous work has shown that spatial resampling can improve rate-distortion performance by providing a higher and more consistent level of video quality at low bitrates. Rate control aims to regulate the video bitrate in accordance to the bit budget. While this is a well studied problem in the singl…
A novel adaptation of the two dimensional Homomorphic filter is introduced using the Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform for improved illumination invariant processing. The Homomorphic filter is conventionally implemented within the log-Fourier domain using an isotropic high-pass filter based on the…
