Medical imaging technology and applications are continuously evolving, dealing with
images of increasing spatial and temporal resolutions, which enable more accurate …

In this paper we present a new algorithm for chroma prediction in YUV images, based on
inter component correlation. Despite the YUV color space transformation for inter component …

A new intra-prediction mode for the H. 264/AVC standard is proposed. Each pixel within a
block is predicted by a weighted sum of its neighbours, according to an N th order Markov …

This paper presents a new intra prediction method for efficient image coding, based on
linear prediction and sparse representation concepts, denominated sparse least-squares …

The use of the multidimensional multiscale parser algorithm for depth maps coding is
proposed. The compression method uses a block-based approach, where efficient …

Directional intra prediction plays an important role in current state-of-the-art video coding
standards. In directional prediction, neighbouring samples are projected along a specific …

In this article we propose to compress depth maps using a coding scheme based on
multiscale recurrent pattern matching and evaluate its impact on depth image based …

Abstract The Multidimensional Multiscale Parser (MMP) is a pattern-matching-based generic
image encoding solution which has been investigated earlier for the compression of stereo …

Prediction techniques have been widely investigated over the last decades for image and
video compression. Currently, most of the existing image and video compression solutions …

State-of-the art approaches towards stereo image coding exploit inter-view redundancy by
employing block-matching methods for disparity estimation and compensation. However, the …
