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...

Abstract. Many different index structures have been proposed for spatial databases to support efficient query processing. However, most of these index structures suffer from an exp...
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...
Several studies have focused on the efficient processing of simple spatial query types such as selections and spatial joins. Little work, however, has been done towards the optimiz...
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...
