In this paper we propose a locally adaptive image threshold technique via variational energy minimization. The novelty of the proposed method is that from an image it automaticall...
?We present a method to automatically localize captions in JPEG compressed images and the I-frames of MPEG compressed videos. Caption text regions are segmented from background ima...
This paper presents a method for visual object categorization based on encoding the joint textural information in objects and the surrounding background, and requiring no segmenta...
