Industrial inspection robots, which are to move around a nuclear power plant and carry out inspection tasks, must follow a given route while observing static and dynamic features ...
This paper demonstrates the use of a simple but effective color-based inspection method in parquet slab grading. The approach is to divide the image to small rectangular regions a...
Distorted character recognition is a difficult but inevitable problem in hand-printed character recognition. In this paper, we propose a character recognition method using elastic...
In order to process video data efficiently, a video segmentation technique through scene change detection must be employed. Many of advanced video applications require manipulatio...
Invariance is an important aspect in image object recognition. We present results obtained with an extended tangent distance incorporated in a kernel density based Bayesian classi...
This paper proposes a vision-based augmented reality system with a wide range of registration. To realize an augmented reality system, it is required to geometrically register rea...
We propose an algorithm to find piecewise linear skeletons of hand-written characters by using principal curves. The development of the method was inspired by the apparent similar...
This paper describes an efficient method to obtain 3D information from omni images using EPI analysis. Two types of omni cameras are employed to make a spatio-temporal volume, whi...
A new approach for separating mathematics from usual text is presented. Contrary to the existing methods, it is more oriented toward the segmentation than the recognition, isolati...
We present an exact algorithm for the computation of the moments of a region bounded by a curve represented in a scaling function or wavelet basis. Using Green's theorem, we ...
