Images have characteristic statistics that can be characterized in terms of the responses of wavelet or Gabor-like filters. There has been a great deal of interest in the fact that images have sparse (kurtotic) statistics in the wavelet domain, with implications for efficient image encoding in biological and artificial systems. If we set aside the issue of efficiency, we are still left with the...

This paper investigates the visual appearance of printed special effect colors that become increasingly popular in high-quality printing. Since traditional colorimetry is insufficient to assess the unique visual appearance of such prints, improved perceptionbased measures and tolerances are necessary for process control and quality assurance. A prerequisite for developing such measures is a tra...

The image of a material's surface varies not only with viewing and illumination conditions, but also with the material's surface properties, including its 3-D texture and specularity. Previous studies on the visual perception of surface material have typically focused on single material properties, ignoring possible interactions. In this study, we used a conjoint-measurement design to determine...

The task of word sense disambiguation is to assign a sense label to a word in a passage. We report our algorithms and experiments for the two tasks that we participated in viz. the task of WSD of WordNet glosses and the task of WSD of English lexical sample. For both the tasks, we explore a method of sense disambiguation through a process of “comparing” the current context for a word against a ...
