In this paper, we improve the inter coding performance of surveillance videos by
simultaneously investigating the distinct characteristics of background and foreground …

This paper address the problem of optical expansion (OE). OE describes the object scale
change between two frames, widely used in monocular 3D vision tasks. Previous methods …

Challenges have become the state-of-the-art approach to benchmark image analysis
algorithms in a comparative manner. While the validation on identical data sets was a great …

Background-oriented schlieren imaging is a recently proposed method for measuring
projections of ultrasound fields. The method is based on observing deflection of light in a …

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) has been significantly advanced since its conception in
early 1990s. With the advancement of imaging modalities, applications of 2D PIV have far …

An image splicing method includes obtaining a first overlapping image and a second
overlapping image from a first image and a second image to-be-spliced. The method also …

I would first like to thank my thesis advisor Professor Robert X. Gao, who is also the chair of
Mechnical and Aerospace Engineering (EMAE) department at Case Western Reserve …

Video denoising techniques need to understand the motion present in the scenes. In the
literature, many strategies guide their temporal filters according to trajectories controlled by …

The aim of this thesis is to contribute in the calculation of variational optical flow methods. Tis
