This paper proposes a new technique of figureground discrimination of color characters in scene images following two steps. The first step is temporary binarization by selecting o...
A feature extraction method using multi-frequency bands is proposed for face recognition, named as the Multi-band Gradient Component Pattern (MGCP). The MGCP captures discriminativ...

We introduce a learning algorithm for the weights in a very common class of discrimination functions usually called weighted average". Di erent submodules are produced by som...
Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), which works by maximizing the within-class similarity and minimizing the between-class similarity simultaneously, is a popular dimensionality r...
The null space N(St) of total scatter matrix St contains no useful information for pattern classification. So, discarding the null space N(St) results in dimensionality reduction ...
