—Extracting a signature from a check with patterned background is a thorny problem in image segmentation. Methods based on threshold techniques often necessitate meticulous postp...
We propose a method of image segmentation by integrating pairwise attraction and directional repulsion derived from local grouping and figure-ground cues. These two kinds of pairw...
This paper presents a language identification technique that differentiates Latin-based languages in degraded and distorted document images. Different from the reported methods tha...
Abstract--Broadband source localization has several applications ranging from automatic video camera steering to target signal tracking and enhancement through beamforming. Consequ...
Canny edge detector is based both on local and global image analysis, present in the gradient computation and connectivity-related hysteresis thresholding, respectively. This cont...
