We present a method to detect characters on signboards in natural scene images. For many applications, both classifier with small computational cost and the efficient feature set,...
Many documents are available to a computer only as images from paper. However, most natural language processing systems expect their input as character-coded text, which may be di...
The National Archives of Singapore keeps a large volume of historical handwritten documents. One common problem with the archives is that over the years, ink sipped through the pa...
