Emergence of successful teleoperation applications requires the convergence of diverse domains like robotics, machine learning, sensing, actuation, control and communication. We e...
Object detection in clutter or occlusion is a hard problem in computer vision. We propose an object detection method based on contour grouping. Two stages are included: a novel di...
—The k nearest neighbor (k-NN) classifier has been extensively used as a nonparametric technique in Pattern Recognition. However, in some applications where the training set is l...
The Gaussian mixture model (GMM) can approximate arbitrary probability distributions, which makes it a powerful tool for feature representation and classification. However, it su...
This paper proposes a new technique of figureground discrimination of color characters in scene images following two steps. The first step is temporary binarization by selecting o...
