Integration of goal-driven, top-down attention and image-driven, bottom-up attention is crucial for visual search. Yet, previous research has mostly focused on models that are pur...
Scene text recognition has gained significant attention from the computer vision community in recent years. Recognizing such text is a challenging problem, even more so than the ...
Diffuse interreflections mean that surface shading and shape are related in ways that are difficult to untangle; in particular, distant and invisible surfaces may affect the shadi...
In this paper, we propose an approach for detecting signs from natural scenes. The approach efficiently embeds multiresolution, adaptive search, and affine rectification algorithm...
