Attribute filters allow enhancement and extraction of features without distorting their borders, and never introduce new image features. These are highly desirable properties in bi...
Global and local adaptive thresholding techniques have been shown effective on particular types of documents. None produces consistently good results on all types of documents. In...
In this paper we propose a locally adaptive image threshold technique via variational energy minimization. The novelty of the proposed method is that from an image it automaticall...
Texture is a fundamental feature which provides significant information for image classification, and is an important content used in content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system. ...
Decomposition of cells in clumps is a difficult segmentation task requiring region splitting techniques. Techniques that do not employ prior shape constraints usually fail to achi...
