Text segmentation in natural scenes using Toggle-Mapping
We offer, in this paper, a new method to segment text in natural scenes. This method is based on the use of a morphological operator: the Toggle Mapping. The efficiency of the met...

Direct Computation of Differential Invariants of Image Contours from Shading
In this paper we present a framework combining differential geometry and scale-space to show that local geometric invariants of image contours such as tangent, curvature and deriv...

The Time Index: An Access Structure for Temporal Data
In this paper, we describe a new indexing technique, the time indez, for improving the performance of certain classes of temporal queries. The time index can be used to retrieve v...
