—We present a multiresolution scheme for symbol representation and recognition based on statistical shape features. We define a symbol as a set of shape points, each of which is...
Edit distance matching has been used in literature for word spotting with characters taken as primitives. The recognition rate however, is limited by the segmentation inconsistenci...
A key step for the effective use of local image features (i.e., highly distinctive and robust features) for recognition or image matching is the appropriate grouping of feature ma...
We present a novel approach to the problem of detection of visual similarity between a template image, and patches in a given image. The method is based on the computation of a lo...
