This paper is concerned with a universal pattern, which is defined as a character pattern designed to have high machine-readability. This universal pattern is a character pattern...
Images taken from scenes under water suffer distortion due to refraction. While refraction causes magnification with mild distortion on the observed images, severe distortions in...
As camera resolution increases, high-speed non-contact text capture through a digital camera is opening up a new channel for text capture and understanding. Unfortunately, the cap...
