—This paper presents a new method to split an image into chromatic and achromatic zones. The proposed algorithm is dedicated to document images. It is robust to the color noise i...
This paper describes a patch-based approach for rapid image correlation or template matching. By representing a template image with an ensemble of patches, the method is robust wi...
We describe an algorithm for computing an image signature, suitable for first-stage screening for duplicate images. Our signature relies on relative brightness of image regions, a...
In this paper we introduce a novel line detection algorithm based on a weighted minimum mean square error (MSE) formulation. This algorithm has been developed to enable an autonom...
A fundamental challenge in face recognition lies in determining what facial features are important for the identification of faces. In this paper, a novel face recognition framewo...
