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...
We present a spatially variant framework for correcting uneven illumination and color cast, problems commonly associated with digitized books. The core of our method is a color im...
This paper presents a new approach for the binarization of seriously degraded manuscript. We introduce a new technique based on a Markov Random Field (MRF) model of the document. ...
In this paper, a new threshold correction method for document image binarization that is forcused on ruled-line extraction is presented. This method enhances the binary image of a...
