Thispaper presents a text word extraction algorithm that takes a set of bounding boxes of glyphs and their associated text lines of a given document andpartitions the glyphs into ...
Abstract. Content retrieval of scanned line drawing images is a difficult problem, especially from real-life large scale databases. Existing algorithms don’t work well due to th...
Abstract. We present a technique that achieves local contrast enhancement by representing it as an optimization problem. For this, we first introduce a scalar objective function th...
We propose a generic grouping algorithm that constructs a hierarchy of regions from the output of any contour detector. Our method consists of two steps, an Oriented Watershed Tran...
