Binary segmentation, a problem of extracting foreground objects from the background, often arises in medical imaging and document processing. Popular existing solutions include Ex...
A novel algorithm is described for coding objects in video compression systems which gives complete control over the bit allocation to the video objects. The method is evaluated b...
It is common for libraries to provide public access to historical and ancient document image collections. It is common for such document images to require specialized processing i...
Gray-scale document images are binarized in order to perform optical character recognition (OCR). To perform this binarization, a variety of techniques have been proposed for perf...
This paper proposes to combine spatial and color coherency with the pixel-wise GMM to determine the background model. We first represent each pixel with a hybrid feature vector, w...
