Modern day multimedia content generation and dissemination is moving towards the presentation of more and more `realistic' scenarios. The switch from 2-dimensional (2D) to 3-dimensional (3D) has been a major driving force in that direction.…
The challenges in recovering underwater images are the presence of diverse degradation factors and the lack of ground truth images. Although synthetic underwater image pairs can be used to overcome the problem of inadequately observing…
Stereo video retargeting aims to resize an image to a desired aspect ratio. The quality of retargeted videos can be significantly impacted by the stereo videos spatial, temporal, and disparity coherence, all of which can be impacted by the…

Due to the factors like processing power limitations and channel capabilities images are often down sampled and transmitted at low bit rates resulting in a low resolution compressed image. High resolution images can be reconstructed from…
Stereo rectification is the determination of two image transformations (or homographies) that map corresponding points on the two images, projections of the same point in the 3D space, onto the same horizontal line in the transformed…
