Computer Vision Student Seminar
The Computer Vision Student Seminar at the University of Maryland College Park is a student-run series of talks given by current graduate students for current graduate students.
Description[edit]
The purpose of these talks is to:
- Encourage interaction between computer vision students;
- Provide an opportunity for computer vision students to be aware of and possibly get involved in the research their peers are conducting;
- Provide an opportunity for computer vision students to receive feedback on their current research;
- Provide speaking opportunities for computer vision students.
Format[edit]
- An hour-long weekly meeting, consisting of one 20-40 minute talk followed by discussion and food.
- The talks are meant to be casual and discussion is encouraged.
- Topics may include current research, past research, general topic presentations, paper summaries and critiques, or anything else beneficial to the computer vision graduate student community.

Wavelets with Composite Dilations[edit]
Speaker: Vishal Patel -- Date: September 8, 2011
Sparse representation of visual information lies at the foundation of many image processing applications, such as image restoration and compression. It is well known that wavelets provide a very sparse representation for a large class of signals and images. For instance, from a continuous perspective, wavelets can be shown to sparsely represent one-dimensional signals that are smooth away from point discontinuities. Unfortunately, separable wavelet transforms have some limitations in higher dimensions. For this reason, in recent years there has been considerable interest in obtaining directionally-oriented image decompositions. Wavelets with composite dilations offer a general and especially effective framework for the construction of such representations. In this talk, I will discuss the theory and implementation of several recently introduced multiscale directional transforms. Then, I will present a new general scheme for creating an M-channel directional filter bank. An advantage of an M-channel directional filter bank is that it can project the image directly onto the desired basis. Applications in image denoising, deconvolution and image enhancement will be presented.
