Video Compression currently is dominated by engineering and fine-tuned heuristic methods. In this paper, we propose to instead apply the well-developed machinery of machine learni...
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...
In many situations it is convenient to represent pictorial data in the form of contours. It may become necessary to compress such contour data for efficient storage and transmissi...
A new method for noise reduction using spatiotemporal smoothing is presented in this paper. The method is developed especially for reducing the noise that arises when acquiring vi...
A directional spatial relationship to a reference object (e.g., "east of the post office") can be represented by a spatial template. The template partitions the space in...
