Deblocking of Block Transform Compressed Images Using Weighted Sums of Symmetrically Aligned Pixels (Java)
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, Vol. 14,

Abstract:
A new class of related algorithms for deblocking block-transform compressed images and video sequences is proposed in this paper. The algorithms apply weighted sums on pixel quartets, which are symmetrically aligned with respect to block boundaries. The basic weights, which are aimed at very low bit-rate images, are obtained from a two-dimensional function which obeys p ....etc

Abstract.
We consider updates to an n-dimensional frequency vector of a data stream, that is, the vector f is updated coordinate-wise by means of insertions or deletions in any arbitrary order. A fundamental problem in this model is to recall the vector approximately, that is to return an estimate ^ f of f such that j ^ fi ....etc

ABSTRACT
We present an approach to estimate the poses of human headsin natural scenes. The essential features for estimating the headpose are the positions of the prominent facial features relativeto the position of the head. We have developed a highdimensional,randomly sparse representation of a human faceusing a simpli£ed facial feature model. The representationtransforms a raw face image into a vector representing howwell the image matches large number of randomly-posed andshaped head models. This transformation is designed to coll ....etc

INTRODUCTION
Estimating the wind-induced response of structures and, in particular, the maximum response and the equivalent static force is a main topic in the panorama of the research developed in wind engineering over the last 40 years. Analyses are usually carried out through theor ....etc

Abstract.
Space-economical estimation of the pth frequency moments, defined as Fp = Pn i=1|fi|p, for p > 0, are of interest in estimating all-pairs distances in a large data matrix , machine learning, and in data stream computation. Random sketches formed by the inner product of the frequency vector f1, . . . , fn with a suitably chosen random vector were pioneered by Alon, Matias and Szegedy , and have since played a central role in estimating Fp and for data stream computations in general. The concept of p-stable sketches for ....etc

Abstract.
We present a randomized procedure named Hierarchical Sampling from Sketches (HSS) that can be used for estimating a class of functions over the frequency vector f of update streams of the form (S) = Pn i=1 (|fi|).We illustrate this by applying the HSS technique to design nearly space-optimal algorithms for estimating the pth moment of the frequency vector, for real p _ 2 and for estimating the entropy of a data stream. 3

Abstract
The problem of estimating the kth frequency moment Fk over a data stream by looking at the items exactly once as they arrive was posed in . A succession of algorithms have been proposed for this problem . Recently, Indyk and Woodru® have presented the ¯rst algorithm for estimating Fk, for k > 2, using space ~O (n1¡2=k), matching the space lower bound (up to poly-logarithmic factors) for this problem (n is the number of distinct items occurring in the stream.) In this paper, we pre ....etc

Abstract.
We consider the problem of estimating hybrid frequency moments of two dimensional data
streams. In this model, data is viewed to be organized in a matrix form (Ai;j)1i;j;n. The entries
Ai;j are updated coordinate-wise, in arbitrary order and possibly multiple times. The updates include
both increments and decrements to the current value of Ai;j . The hybrid frequency moment Fp;q(A)
is dened as
