We compare in this study two image restoration approaches for the pre-processing of printed documents: namely the Non-local Means filter and a total variation minimization approac...
Research in visual surveillance systems is shifting from using few stationary, passive cameras to employing large heterogeneous sensor networks. One promising type of sensor in pa...
As camera resolution increases, high-speed non-contact text capture through a digital camera is opening up a new channel for document capture and understanding. Unfortunately, per...
Double-sided manuscripts are often degraded by bleedthrough interference. Such degradation must be corrected to facilitate human perception and machine recognition. Most approache...
In this paper we present a new postal envelope segmentation method based on 2-D histogram clustering and watershed transform. Segmentation task consists in detecting the modes ass...
