Abstract. Through task decomposition and module combination, minmax modular support vector machines (M3 -SVMs) can be successfully used for difficult pattern classification task. ...
In order to realize accurate camera-based character recognition, machine-readable class information is embedded into each character image. Specifically, each character image is pr...
When recognizing multiple fonts, geometric features, such as the directional information of strokes, are generally robust against deformation but are weak against degradation. Thi...
Recent research in object recognition has demonstrated the advantages of representing objects and scenes through localized patterns such as small image templates. In this paper we...
In this paper, we propose a word shape recognition method for retrieving image-based documents. Document images are segmented at the word level first. Then the proposed method det...
