In this paper, we present an algorithm which combines Vector Quantization (VQ) techniques with variable size Block Matching Algorithms (BMA) for motion compensated image sequence coding. First, an algorithm which decomposes the image frame into blocks of diierent sizes with similar motion parameters is proposed. Since the algorithm is based on splitting the block that would result in the highes...

Disparity estimation is a very important operation in stereo image and video compression. However, existing disparity estimation algorithms require too large computation power. In this paper, we propose a fast disparity estimation algorithm for mesh-based stereo image and video compression with two-stage hybrid approach, which is names as Two Stage Iterative Block and Octagonal Matching algorit...

Video data are rich sources of information and in order to make these data, the information content of the data has to be analyzed. A frame of video sequence at a boundary point of a shot differs in background and content from its successive frame that belongs to the next shot. Block Matching Algorithm is used to detect shot in video sequences. Vast number of Matching Algorithm have been propos...

This paper presents a new fast search algorithm for block matching motion estimation called the adaptive search length (ASL) algorithm. The ASL algorithm adaptively varies the number of positions searched for each block while still maintaining control of the average number of searches per block for each frame. Experimental results show that the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of decoded seque...

In this work a new version of block-matching and 3D filtering (BM3D) denoising approach introduced by Dabov et al. for denoising the image corrupted by additive white Gassian noise is proposed. The BM3D performs collaborative filtering to the 3D image groups composed by similar image blocks with the fixed hard-thresholding operator. The proposed version of BM3D adopts adaptive block-matching th...

An improved algorithm for fast motion estimation based on the block matching algorithm (BMA) is presented for use in a blockbased video coding system. To achieve enhanced motion estimation performance, we propose an adaptive search pattern length for each iteration for the current macro block (MB). In addition, search points that must be checked are determined by means of directional informatio...

In this paper we present a simple adaptive block-matching algorithm for video compression. Our method is an adaptive approach to pixel difference classification (PDC) matching criterion. A constant threshold is used in original PDC algorithm in which optimum threshold varies from sequence to sequence. In contrast to the original PDC algorithm, adaptive PDC (APDC) employs a time variant threshol...

An efficient technique is presented for obtaining dense stereo correspondence using a new adaptive Block Matching technique. First, one of the color stereo images (e.g., the left) is segmented into chromatic and achromatic regions using perceptual attributes in the HSI color space. Then the Block Matching technique is applied to the stereo images using adaptive similarity measures. The results ...

when shareholders have agreement about divestiture of company’s share in stock exchange, they decide to change and improve their business ownership structure and the presence of a large shareholder to help divestiture. the present study was aimed to investigate the effect of presence of large shareholder to tends firm to divestiture by a new approach. for this purpose, the propensity score a sa...

This paper proposes a Finger-Knuckle-Print (FKP) recognition algorithm using Band-Limited Phase-Only Correlation (BLPOC)-based local block matching. The phase information obtained from 2D Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of images contains important information of image representation. The phase-based image matching, especially BLPOC-based image matching, is successfully applied to image recogn...
