    • Variational Anisotropic Gradient-Domain Image Processing 

      Farup, Ivar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Gradient-domain image processing is a technique where, instead of operating directly on the image pixel values, the gradient of the image is computed and processed. The resulting image is obtained by reintegrating the ...
    • Variational Approach for Capsule Video Frame Interpolation
