This paper proposes a novel hybrid method to robustly and accurately localize texts in natural scene images. A text region detector is designed to generate a text confidence map,...
We have proposed a complete system for text detection and localization in gray scale scene images. A boosting framework integrating feature and weak classifier selection based on...
In this paper I will try to explain the nature of document understanding in all of its dimensions. Therefore I will first describe the characteristics of data, knowledge, and info...
A new precision vectorization method has been developed for building centerlines of plain shapes. First a dense skeleton is computed. Centerlines are obtained as a subset of branc...
A perturbation model for generating synthetic textlines from existing cursively handwritten lines of text produced by human writers is presented. Our purpose is to improve the per...
