Wavelet transform coefficient encoders are broadly categorized as depending on correlations: across sub-bands through a zerotree, or within sub-bands through a block quad-tree. Th...
Global and local adaptive thresholding techniques have been shown effective on particular types of documents. None produces consistently good results on all types of documents. In...
In this paper, we propose a shape reconstruction and image restoration method for paper documents with curved surfaces or fold lines by using a stereo vision system. Characters in...

This paper proposes a blind audio watermark extraction technique that allows performing watermark decoding while installing data synchronization. The proposed decoding algorithm e...
A systematic static shadow detection algorithm for color images is presented in this paper. The image is modeled by an undirected graph and the shadow detection is achieved throug...
This paper discusses a novel and effective technique for extracting multiple ellipses from an image, using a Multi-Population Genetic Algorithm (MPGA). MPGA evolves a number of su...
Saliency is an important perceptual cue that occurs at different scales of resolution. Important attributes of saliency are symmetry, continuity, and closure. Detection of these a...
