This paper proposes a novel hybrid method to robustly and accurately localize texts in natural scene images. A text region detector is designed to generate a text confidence map,...
This paper presents a comprehensive distortion metric for digital color images. It is based on a normalization model of the human visual system that incorporates color perception....
A new concept and algorithm are presented for noniterative robust estimation of piecewise smooth curves of maximal edge strength in small image windows – typically ¢¡£ to...
Abstract. In this paper we introduce a new method for image segmentation. It is based on a height map generated from the input image. The height map characterizes the image content...
In this paper, we propose an object segmentation framework, based on the popular bag of features (BoF), which can process several images per second while achieving a good segmentat...
