This paper presents a spatial noise reduction technique designed to work on CFA (Color Filter Array) data acquired by CCD/CMOS image sensors. The overall processing preserves image details by using heuristics related to HVS (Human Visual System) and texture detection. The estimated amount of texture and HVS sensitivity are combined to regulate the filter strength. Experimental results confirm t...

Recently, there are two interesting trends in image and video coding research. One is to use human visual system (HVS) models to improve the current state-of-the-art coding algorithms by better exploiting the properties of the intended receiver. The other is to design rate scalable video codecs, which allow the extraction of coded visual information at continuously varying bit rates from a sing...

Halftoning is the core algorithm governing most digital printing or imaging devices, by which images of continuous tones are converted to ensembles of discrete or quantum dots. It is through the human vision system (HVS) that such fields of quantum dots can be perceived almost identical to the original continuous images. In the current work, we propose a leastsquare based halftoning model with ...

The development of reliable objective image quality assessment (IQA) metrics coordinate to the human‟s perception is crucial in numerous image processing applications. State-of-art perceptual IQA methods focus on two techniques using the sensitivities of human visual system (HVS). One is perceptual pooling strategy in spatial domain while the other is multi-channel model in spectral domain. In ...

Intellectual property protection of deep neural networks is receiving attention from more and researchers, the latest research applies model watermarking to generative models for image processing. However, existing methods designed do not take into account effects different channels sample images on watermarking. As a result, performance still limited. To tackle this problem, in paper, we first...

This paper proposes a novel face recognition algorithm inspired by Human Visual System (HVS). Firstly, we learn where people look by recording observers’ eye movements when they are viewing face images. We find that the observers are consistent in the regions fixated and such fixated regions are selected as the salient regions. Secondly, we represent the face images by four scales of Local Bina...

A semantic parser based on the hidden vector state (HVS) model has been proposed for extracting protein-protein interactions. The HVS model is an extension of the basic discrete hidden Markov model, in which context is encoded as a stack-oriented state vector and state transitions are factored into a stack shift operation followed by the push of a new preterminal category label. In this paper, ...
