Abstract— We present a general framework for vessel segmentation in retinal images with a particular focus on small vessels. The retinal images are first processed by a nonlinea...
We propose a novel set of medial feature interest points based on gradient vector flow (GVF) fields [18]. We exploit the long ranging GVF fields for symmetry estimation by calcula...
In this paper, an efficient and computationally fast method for segmenting text and graphics part of document images based on textural cues is presented. We assume that the graphic...
We propose a novel shape model for object detection called Fan Shape Model (FSM). We model contour sample points as rays of final length emanating for a reference point. As in fo...
Abstract. Shape features applied to object recognition has been actively studied since the beginning of the field in 1950s and remain a viable alternative to appearance based metho...
