With limited storage/bandwidth resources, input images to Computer Vision (CV) applications that use Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are often encoded with JPEG that is tailored to Human Vision (HV). This paper presents Deep Selector-JPEG, an…
Collaborative data consist of ratings relating two distinct sets of objects: users and items. Much of the work with such data focuses on filtering: predicting unknown ratings for pairs of users and items. In this paper we focus on the…
JPEG is one of the popular image compression algorithms that provide efficient storage and transmission capabilities in consumer electronics, and hence it is the most preferred image format over the internet world. In the present digital…
Images tell stories, trigger emotions, and let us recall memories -- they make us think. Thus, they have the ability to attract and hold one's attention, which is the definition of being "interesting". Yet, the appeal of an image is highly…
JPEG is the most popular image format, which is widely used in our daily life. Therefore, reversible data hiding (RDH) for JPEG images is important. Most of the RDH schemes for JPEG images will cause significant distortions and large file…
This paper first reviews the reversible data hiding scheme, of Liu et al. in 2018, for JPEG images. After that, a novel reversible data hiding scheme, in which modification directions of partial nonzero quantized alternating current (AC)…
The ability to compare objects, scenes, or situations is crucial for effective decision-making and problem-solving in everyday life. For instance, comparing the freshness of apples enables better choices during grocery shopping while…
Evaluating human brain potentials during watching different images can be used for memory evaluation, information retrieving, guilty-innocent identification and examining the brain response. In this study, the effects of watching images,…
With the vigorous development of mobile photography technology, major mobile phone manufacturers are scrambling to improve the shooting ability of equipments and the photo beautification algorithm of software. However, the improvement of…
Given a JPEG pipeline (compression or decompression), this paper demonstrates how to find the antecedent of an 8x8 block. If it exists, the block is considered compatible with the pipeline. For unaltered images, all blocks remain compatible…
This paper presents a new metric called TIGEr for the automatic evaluation of image captioning systems. Popular metrics, such as BLEU and CIDEr, are based solely on text matching between reference captions and machine-generated captions,…
Most state-of-the-art image retrieval and recommendation systems predominantly focus on individual images. In contrast, socially curated image collections, condensing distinctive yet coherent images into one set, are largely overlooked by…
We report the design, implementation, and deployment of Lepton, a fault-tolerant system that losslessly compresses JPEG images to 77% of their original size on average. Lepton replaces the lowest layer of baseline JPEG compression-a Huffman…
As the demand for digital information grows in fields like medicine, remote sensing, and archival, efficient image compression becomes crucial. This paper focuses on lossless image compression, vital for managing the increasing volume of…
Assessing image aesthetics is a challenging computer vision task. One reason is that aesthetic preference is highly subjective and may vary significantly among people for certain images. Thus, it is important to properly model and quantify…
Subjective image-quality measurement plays a critical role in the development of image-processing applications. The purpose of a visual-quality metric is to approximate the results of subjective assessment. In this regard, more and more…
Recent image captioning models are achieving impressive results based on popular metrics, i.e., BLEU, CIDEr, and SPICE. However, focusing on the most popular metrics that only consider the overlap between the generated captions and human…
As a commonly-used image compression format, JPEG has been broadly applied in the transmission and storage of images. To further reduce the compression cost while maintaining the quality of JPEG images, lossless transcoding technology has…
Modelling human perception of musical similarity is critical for the evaluation of generative music systems, musicological research, and many Music Information Retrieval tasks. Although human similarity judgments are the gold standard,…
Bistable images, also known as ambiguous or reversible images, present visual stimuli that can be seen in two distinct interpretations, though not simultaneously by the observer. In this study, we conduct the most extensive examination of…
