Images compression is a widely studied topic. Conventional situations offer variable compression ratios depending on the image in question and, in general, do not yield good results for images that are rich in tones. This work is an application of…

In this paper we present two basic modules whithin the designed scheme for retrieving images of a database from the object colour and shape in the scenes. On the one hand, we desing a new method to detect edges in…

In this paper two images compression techniques with loss based on the method used by the compression Standard Joint Photographic Experts Groups (JPEG) and on the Quadtree
adaptive partitioning method are presented and compared, and the loss produced studied. The…

The development of parallel algorithms for an automatic recognition and classification of objects from an industrial line (either production or packaging) is presented. This kind of problem introduces a temporal restriction on images processing, a parallel resolution being therefore required.…

The algorithmical architecture and structure is presented for the parallelization of image similarity analysis, based on obtaining multiple digital signatures for each image, in which each "signature" is composed by the most representative coefficients of the wavelet transform of the…

This paper describes a new classification method (DER) based on evidential reasoning to which a series of modifications are added [1]. DER allows including new evidence for the classification process and defines a different decision rule. The evidential reasoning algorithm…

In several applications, the trajectory of an entity, a feature or an object has to be tracked over a sequence of image frames. When the processing is to be performed in real time, there are important constraints leading to the…

This paper presents the Adesso, a computational environment for the development of scientific software. The Adesso environment leverages the reusable software component programming model to support the development and integration of components to several scientific programming platforms. The Adesso system…

Multiwavelets are new addition to the body of wavelet theory. There are many types of symmetric multiwavelets such as Geronimo-Hardin-Massopust (GHM) and Chui-Lian (CL) multiwavelets. However, the matrix filter generating the GHM system multiwavelets does not satisfy the symmetric property.…

In this work an application of image enhancement techniques in fingerprints is presented. Digital Image-processing technology was applied to restored fingerprints with non-uniform contrast. These fingerprints corresponded to unidentified persons who were murdered by Military Forces in 1976. In 1997,…
