In this paper we propose a robust text segmentation method in complex background. The proposed method first utilizes the K-means algorithm to decompose a detected text block into ...
Abstract. A new algorithm for interactive image segmentation is proposed. Besides the traditional appearance and gradient information, a new Generic Shape Prior (GSP) knowledge whi...
We propose a distributed parallel support vector machine (DPSVM) training mechanism in a configurable network environment for distributed data mining. The basic idea is to exchange...
In this paper, we propose a novel and simple fast block-matching algorithm (BMA), called adaptive rood pattern search (ARPS), which consists of two sequential search stages: 1) ini...
Recently, spammers have proliferated "image spam", emails which contain the text of the spam message in a human readable image instead of the message body, making detect...
