Visual cortex neurons have receptive fields resembling oriented bandpass filters, and their response distributions on natural images are non-Gaussian. Inspired by this, we previou...
We propose a novel approach for finding text in images by using ridges at several scales. A text string is modelled by a ridge at a coarse scale representing its center line and n...
In document image recognition, orientation detection of the scanned page is necessary for the following procedures to work correctly as they assume that the text is well oriented....
We seek a framework that addresses localization, detection and recognition of man-made objects in natural-scene images in a unified manner. We propose to model artificial structur...
Much past research on finding text in natural scenes uses bottom-up grouping processes to detect candidate text features as a first processing step. While such grouping procedures...
