This paper proposes to combine spatial and color coherency with the pixel-wise GMM to determine the background model. We first represent each pixel with a hybrid feature vector, w...
We present a region-based active contour detection algorithm for objects that exhibit relatively homogeneous photometric characteristics (e.g. smooth color or gray levels), embedd...

In OCR systems the character segmentation algorithm may generate mis-segmented blocks. Feedback information from character classifier is indispensable to achieve higher character ...
The sipping of ink through the pages of certain double-sided handwritten documents after long periods of storage poses a serious problem to human readers or OCR systems. This pape...
