The analysis of the relationships between landscape visual quality and landscape structural properties is an active area of environmental perception research. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between landscape... more
ABSTRACT An important component of shrimp quality evaluation is determination of visual attributes by trained inspectors. This is subjective, time con-suming, and difficult to quantify. An automated device was developed for repeatable,... more
The research presented here evaluated viewer preferences for a road corridor in southern Utah that is managed in part by the USDA Forest Service, and in part by the National Park Service. Because philosophical differences per agency can... more
ABSTRACT The locations and the relationships between locations that have emerged with urbanization and the growth of cities have placed considerable pressures on city dwellers. In recent times, city dwellers have been seeking comfort both... more
Term “super-resolution” is typically used for a high-resolution image produced from several low-resolution noisy observations. In this paper, we consider the problem of high-quality interpolation of a single noise-free image. Several... more
Fractals have experienced considerable success in quantifying the complex structure exhibited by many natural patterns and have captured the imagination of scientists and artists alike. With ever widening appeal, they have been referred... more
This paper presents an efficient solution for digital images sharpening, the Adaptive Directional Sharpening with Overshoot Control (ADSOC), a method based on a high-pass filter able to perform a stronger sharpening in the detailed zones... more

Although three-dimensional (3D) displays enhance visual quality more than two-dimensional (2D) displays do, the depth information required for 3D displays is unavailable in the conventional 2D content. Therefore, converting 2D videos into... more
This paper presents a method to optimize the visual quality of JPEG2000-compressed images using an adaptive approach to assign more bits to regions in which errors are more visible, maintaining the global bit-rate unchanged.
Abstract—By taking into account the properties and limitations of the human visual system (HVS), images can be more efficiently compressed, colors more accurately reproduced, prints better rendered, to mention a few major advantages. To... more
The use of 3D laser scanner in documenting heritage sites has increased significantely over the past few years. This is maily due to advances of such systems which allow for the fast and reliable generation of millions of 3D points.... more
There has always been a demand for real estate with the aim of accommodation and/or making investments. The real estate is also vital for a country's economy as urban land value is determinative in both urban planning and real estate... more
