—Extracting a signature from a check with patterned background is a thorny problem in image segmentation. Methods based on threshold techniques often necessitate meticulous postp...
In this work we aim to capitalize on the availability of Internet image search engines to automatically create image training sets from user provided queries. This problem is part...
It is well known that the text that appears in a video scene or is graphically added to it is an important source of semantic information for indexing and retrieval, notably in the...
Abstract. We describe a new approach for learning to perform classbased segmentation using only unsegmented training examples. As in previous methods, we first use training images ...
We present a new image segmentation algorithm based on graph cuts. Our main tool is separation of each pixel from a special point outside the image by a cut of a minimum cost. Suc...
