This book presents a practical approach to encoding problems in progressive image transmission. General principles that a solution must obey are first stated, then a novel method for information prioritization, bit rate allocation, and order performance evaluation is described. The method presented

Spanish computer scientists and physicist consider two different situations in predicting visual target distinctness by means of a computer vision model. First, they assume that the structure of the target-and-background scene and the image without a target can be determined exactly, so that the mai
