This paper presents a new representation and evaluation procedure of page segmentation algorithms and analyzes six widely-used layout analysis algorithms using the procedure. The ...
In this paper, we propose an effective fingerprint matching algorithm based on ridge count matching and minutiae subset combination. In the algorithm, the orientation-based ridge ...
Recent technological advances have enabled human users to interact with computers in ways previously unimaginable. Beyond the confines of the keyboard and mouse, new modalities fo...

We present a novel split and merge based method for dividing a given metric map into distinct regions, thus effectively creating a topological map on top of a metric one. The init...
In this paper, denoising on multicomponent images is performed. The presented procedure is a spatial waveletbased denoising techniques, based on Bayesian leastsquares optimization...
This paper presents a novel algorithm for unsupervised texture segmentation. The proposed algorithm incorporates the Local Binary Pattern operator under a segmentation framework b...

As part of ITS technology, to achieve quick map updates, we propose a method for automatically detecting changes in streetscapes from images captured by car-mounted omnidirectiona...
We classify an image by generating a list of salient visual features present in the luminance channel, and matching the resulting variable-length feature list to categoryspecific ...
In this paper we propose the first version of FAIR, a low-dimensional image neighborhood descriptor that shows performance comparable to SIFT introduced by Lowe. The dimension of F...
