In this paper, we present a new method to solve tracking problem. The proposed method combines sparse representation and motion estimation to track an object. Recently. sparse representation has gained much attention in signal processing and computer vision. Sparse representation can be used as a classifier but has high time complexity. Here, we utilize motion information in order to reduce this computation time by not calculating sparse codes for all the frames. Experimental results demonstrates that the achieved result are accurate enough and have much less computation time than using just a sparse classifier  

In this work, we present a new method of noise removal which is applied on images corrupted by impulse noise. This new algorithm has a good trade-off between quantitative and qualitative properties of the recovered image and the computation time. In this new method, the corrupted pixels are replaced by using a median filter or, they are estimated by their neighbors' values. Our proposed method shows better results especially in very high density noisy images than Standard Median Filter (SMF), Adaptive Median Filter (AMF) and some other well-known filters for removing impulse noise. Experimental results show the superiority of the proposed algorithm in measures of PSNR and SSIM, specifically...
