Abstract: An iteration-free fractal mating coding (IFMC) method for mutual image compression is proposed in this paper. To avoid the iteration process in the decoder, the mean image is used to ...

Genome-wide association studies have identified over 200 loci associated with IBD. We and others have recently shown that, in addition to variants in protein-coding genes, the majority of the ...

An increasing number of image processing applications require an automated quality prediction of the visual content as perceived by humans. Since, sparse coding is suggested to be an underlying ...
