Pre-processing algorithms improve the quality of a compression system by removing unimportant data before encoding. This enhances both the visual quality and coding efficiency of ...

This paper presents a new architecture of neural networks designed for pattern recognition. The concept of induction graphs coupled with a divide-and-conquer strategy defines a Gr...
In the quality assessment task, observers evaluate a natural image based on its perceptual resemblance to a reference. For the utility assessment task, observers evaluate the usef...
Recent deblocking techniques are based on spatial filtering. We present a new deblocking technique based on temporal filtering of spatially aligned frames. This approach is used i...
Approximate Linear Programming (ALP) is a reinforcement learning technique with nice theoretical properties, but it often performs poorly in practice. We identify some reasons for...
