      Biologically inspired region of interest selection for low bit-rate video coding 

      Tsapatsoulis, Nicolas; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Rapantzikos, K. (2006)
      A variety of approaches have been proposed in the literature for Region-Of-Interest (ROI) estimation. In most of them the ROI definition is highly subjective, i.e., lacks scientific evidence in supporting the claim that ...

      An embedded saliency map estimator scheme: Application to video encoding 

      Tsapatsoulis, Nicolas; Rapantzikos, K.; Pattichis, Constantinos S. (2007)
      In this paper we propose a novel saliency-based computational model for visual attention. This model processes both top-down (goal directed) and bottom-up information. Processing in the top-down channel creates the so ...

      Image analysis system for automated detection of breast cancer nuclei 

      Tsapatsoulis, Nicolas; Schnorrenberg, Frank; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Kollias, Stefanos (IEEE Comp Soc, 1997)
      A study for breast cancer nuclei detection is presented in this paper. The proposed algorithm determines the centers of nuclei in biopsy images using block-based processing of the images followed by singular value decomposition ...

      Palm geometry biometrics: A score-based fusion approach 

      Tsapatsoulis, Nicolas; Pattichis, Constantinos S. (2009)
      In this paper we present an identification and authentication system based on hand geometry. First, we examine the performance of three different methods that are based on hand silhouette and on binarized hand images and ...
