—This paper presents a new method to split an image into chromatic and achromatic zones. The proposed algorithm is dedicated to document images. It is robust to the color noise i...
—A novel binarization method for courtesy amount recognition of color Chinese checks is proposed in this paper. It includes two steps: background removal and seal removal. In the...
—This paper presents a new approach for graphical symbols recognition by combining a concept lattice with a bag of words representation. Visual words define the properties of a ...
—A shape descriptor combining the histogram of the Radon transform, the logarithmic-scale histogram, and the phase-only correlation function is proposed. Applying a logarithmic-s...
More and more fonts have sprung up in recent years in digital publishing industry and reading devices. In this paper, we focus on methods of evaluating digital Chinese fonts and t...
Abstract—In this paper, we present a novel languageindependent algorithm for extracting text-lines from handwritten document images. Our algorithm is based on the seam carving ap...
—In this paper, we propose a new method for three dimensional rotation-free recognition of characters in scene. In the proposed method, we employ the Modified Quadratic Discrimi...
—We propose a novel scenario called “writer retrieval” consisting in the retrieval from a set of documents all those produced by the same writer. The retrieval is based on a ...
— This paper presents a new method based on Fourier and moments features to extract words and characters from a video text line in any direction for recognition. Unlike existing ...
