This paper presents a novel real-time palmprint recognition system for cooperative user applications. This system is the first one achieving noncontact capturing and recognizing pa...
Segmentation involves separating distinct regions in an image. In this note, we present a novel variational approach to perform this task. We propose an energy functional that nat...

Compound document images contain graphic or textual content along with pictures. They are a very common form of documents, found in magazines, brochures, web-sites, etc. We focus ...
A novel local threshold algorithm for images with poor illumination and complex texture surface is presented in this paper. This algorithm improves segmentation quality by selecti...
Methods for histogram thresholding based on the minimization of a threshold-dependent criterion function might not work well for images having multimodal histograms. In this paper ...
