The goal is to measure the amount of genetic material at specific spot locations. Many spots can be modelled accurately by a Gaussian shape. In order to deal with highly overlapping spots the authors use robust M-estimators. When the parametric method fails, they use a novel, robust semi-parametric method which can handle spots of different shapes accurately. They present the results for real data and compare the complexity of the two methods.","PeriodicalId":193198,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2000 International Conference on Image Processing (Cat.

As kriging is a nonconvex estimation technique and negative kriging weights applied to image data can give estimates outside the range of pixel values. Convexity is therefore required in this image analysis to ensure no negative weights. Fuzzy sets are used to enhance the smoothing process of an ordinary kriging filter. Experiments on an image degraded by Gaussian white noise are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in comparison with the adaptive Wiener filter.","PeriodicalId":193198,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2000 International Conference on Image Processing (Cat.

Our face-tracking algorithm detects faces in the hue-saturation-value (HSV) color space and reduces false alarms based on various cues, including size, shape position, and aspect ratio. The algorithm also performs temporal filtering to enforce consistency from frame to frame. The face tracker is integrated in the rate control of a video encoder, which allows more bits to be committed to the face regions at the cost of reduced bits in the non-face regions. Thus, image quality can be greatly improved in face regions at the cost of reduced quality in background regions, resulting in better overall subjective quality for many sequences.","PeriodicalId":193198,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2000 International Conference on Image Processing (Cat.

On a coding perspective, it is reasonable to expect that the exploitation of the full dimensional correlation among data samples would lead to a sensible improvement in compression performances, especially for isotropic datasets. We propose a fully three-dimensional wavelet-based coding system providing a finely-graded up to lossless data representation in a single bistream. The data are first decorrelated by a 3D discrete wavelet transform, performed by the non-linear lifting scheme mapping integers to integers. This enables the lossless mode and permits the in-place implementation of the transform at a reduced computational complexity. The coding scheme is inspired to the layered-zero coding proposed by Taubman and Zakhor (1994), extended to handle fully 3D subband structures. Performances are characterized with respect to both the 2D version of the same algorithm and the JPEG standard. The rate-saving is strongly influenced by the amount of the data correlation in the z dimension, ranging between 16.5% and 5.5% for the considered datasets.","PeriodicalId":193198,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2000 International Conference on Image Processing (Cat.

This is a topic of growing interest as the new standard JPEG 2000, based on the wavelet transform, is being finalized. Taking into account the effect of finite precision representation can drive both software and hardware implementations with optimized trade off between complexity and performance; moreover the robustness to numerical errors could be an important feature, not usually considered, in order to select the best wavelet filters.","PeriodicalId":193198,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2000 International Conference on Image Processing (Cat.
