We investigate a method to speed up the O(n3 ) labeling algorithm of Rosenfeld and Pfaltz for segmenting binary images, which is unduly complex for large images. That algorithm sea...
In this paper we present a new optimization technique for the neighborhood computation in connected component labeling focused on images stored in raster scan order. This new tech...
Fingerprint enhancement is a critical step in fingerprint identification. Most of the existing enhancement algorithms are based on local ridge direction. The main drawback of thes...
This paper presents e cient and portable implementations of a useful image enhancement process, the Symmetric Neighborhood Filter SNF, and an image segmentation technique which ma...
We present a fast, topology-preserving approach for isosurface simplification. The underlying concept behind our approach is to preserve the disconnected surface components in cel...
