AbstractThis paper presents a real-coded memetic algorithm that combines a high diversity global exploration with an adaptive local search method to the most promising individuals ...
Adaptive binarization is an important first step in many document analysis and OCR processes. This paper describes a fast adaptive binarization algorithm that yields the same qual...
We analyze the addition of a simple local improvement step to various known randomized approximation algorithms. Let ' 0:87856 denote the best approximation ratio currently k...
Abstract. A novel adaptive and exemplar-based approach is proposed for image restoration (denoising) and representation. The method is based on a pointwise selection of similar ima...
