The Contourlet Transform: An Efficient Directional Multiresolution Image Representation
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING
"... The limitations of commonly used separable extensions of one-dimensional transforms, such as the Fourier and wavelet transforms, in capturing the geometry of image edges are well known. In this paper, we pursue a “true” two-dimensional transform that can capture the intrinsic geometrical structure t ..."

functions with discontinuities along twice continuously differentiable curves. Finally, we show some numerical experiments demonstrating the potential of contourlets in several image processing applications.
Functions and their basic properties
- JOURNAL OF FORMALIZED MATHEMATICS
, 2003
"... The definitions of the mode Function and the graph of a function are introduced. The graph of a function is defined to be identical with the function. The following concepts are also defined: the domain of a function, the range of a function, the identity function, the composition of functions, the ..."

, the 1-1 function, the inverse function, the restriction of a function, the image and the inverse image. Certain basic facts about functions and the notions defined in the article are proved.
Image registration methods: a survey.
, 2003
"... Abstract This paper aims to present a review of recent as well as classic image registration methods. Image registration is the process of overlaying images (two or more) of the same scene taken at different times, from different viewpoints, and/or by different sensors. The registration geometrical ..."

geometrically align two images (the reference and sensed images). The reviewed approaches are classified according to their nature (areabased and feature-based) and according to four basic steps of image registration procedure: feature detection, feature matching, mapping function design, and image
Plenoptic Modeling: An Image-Based Rendering System
, 1995
"... Image-based rendering is a powerful new approach for generating real-time photorealistic computer graphics. It can provide convincing animations without an explicit geometric representation. We use the “plenoptic function” of Adelson and Bergen to provide a concise problem statement for image-based ..."

Approximation by Superpositions of a Sigmoidal Function
, 1989
"... In this paper we demonstrate that finite linear combinations of compositions of a fixed, univariate function and a set ofaffine functionals can uniformly approximate any continuous function of n real variables with support in the unit hypercube; only mild conditions are imposed on the univariate fun ..."

Similarity of Color Images
, 1995
"... We describe two new color indexing techniques. The first one is a more robust version of the commonly used color histogram indexing. In the index we store the cumulative color histograms. The L 1 -, L 2 -, or L1 -distance between two cumulative color histograms can be used to define a similarity mea ..."

of storing the complete color distributions, the index contains only their dominant features. We implement this approach by storing the first three moments of each color channel of an image in the index, i.e., for a HSV image we store only 9 floating point numbers per image. The similarity function which
Stochastic relaxation, Gibbs distributions and the Bayesian restoration of images.
- IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell.
, 1984
"... Abstract-We make an analogy between images and statistical mechanics systems. Pixel gray levels and the presence and orientation of edges are viewed as states of atoms or molecules in a lattice-like physical system. The assignment of an energy function in the physical system determines its Gibbs di ..."

The Laplacian Pyramid as a Compact Image Code
, 1983
"... We describe a technique for image encoding in which local operators of many scales but identical shape serve as the basis functions. The representation differs from established techniques in that the code elements are localized in spatial frequency as well as in space. Pixel-to-pixel correlations a ..."

An iterative image registration technique with an application to stereo vision
- In IJCAI81
, 1981
"... Image registration finds a variety of applications in computer vision. Unfortunately, traditional image registration techniques tend to be costly. We present a new image registration technique that makes use of the spatial intensity gradient of the images to find a good match using a type of Newton- ..."

. The registration problem The translational image registration problem can be characterized as follows: We are given functions F(x) and G(x) which give the respective pixel values at each location x in two images, where x is a vector. We wish to find the disparity vector h which minimizes some measure
VisualSEEk: a fully automated content-based image query system

The VisualSEEk system is novel in that the user forms the queries by diagramming spatial arrangements of color regions. The system finds the images that contain the most similar arrangements of ..."
