	abstract = {It{\textquoteright}s a visual world. Images capture many people{\textquoteright}s thrills, emotions, and concerns. Art can shock or inspire, and family photos are some of our greatest treasures. It{\textquoteright}s not surprising that visual information is a vital component of the new computing. Most people depend on visual input to understand the world around them and as a basis for further creative activities. The popularity of visual media such as photos, short videos, and animations attests to their mainstream acceptance. Digital photos and image-laden Web pages have already become major computing applications, but users still want higher-resolution images and faster downloads},

	abstract = {Presents a robust method for describing planar curves in multiple resolution using curvature information. The method is developed by taking into account the discrete nature of digital images as well as the discrete aspect of a multiresolution structure (pyramid). The authors deal with the robustness of the technique, which is due to the additional information that is extracted from observing the behavior of corners in the pyramid. Furthermore the resulting algorithm is conceptually simple and easily parallelizable. They develop theoretical results, analyzing the curvature of continuous curves in scale-space, which show the behavior of curvature extrema under varying scale. These results are used to eliminate any ambiguities that might arise from sampling problems due to the discreteness of the representation. Finally, experimental results demonstrate the potential of the method},
