Computer graphics rendering software is capable of generating highly photorealistic images
that can be impossible to differentiate from photographic images. As a result, the unique …

I describe a statistical model for natural photographic images, when decomposed in a multi-
scale wavelet basis. In particular, I examine both the marginal and pairwise joint histograms …

We describe a statistical model for natural images that is built upon a multi-scale wavelet
decomposition. The model consists of first-and higher-order statistics that capture certain …

The set of all possible visual images is huge, but not all of these are equally likely to be
encountered by an imaging device such as the eye. Knowledge of this nonuniform …

Although studies of vision and graphics often assume simple illumination models, real-world
illumination is highly complex, with reflected light incident on a surface from almost every …

Visual content is often better communicated by simplified or exaggerated images than by
the" real world like" images. In this paper, we offer a tool for creating such enhanced …

We address the problem of computing a general-purpose early visual representation that
satisfies two criteria. 1) Explicitness: To be more useful than the original pixel array, the …

Recently, statistical techniques have been used to assist art historians in the analysis of
works of art. We present a novel technique for the quantification of artistic style that utilizes a …

Let me begin with two image sequences from the 1991 allied war against Iraq that stand for
a single type of picture. The first sequence, taken from cameras in a helicopter, a plane, and" …

Our world is constantly changing, and it is important for us to understand how our
environment changes and evolves over time. A common method for capturing and …
