—In this paper, a new binarization algorithm for degraded document images is proposed. The method is based on positive and negative pixel energies using the Laplacian of an image...
In this paper, a high-speed document image classification algorithm is presented. The algorithm is based on the bottom-up strategy which can successfully segment and classify any ...
Document image segmentation algorithms primarily aim at separating text and graphics in presence of complex layouts. However, for many non-Latin scripts, segmentation becomes a ch...
The Handwriting Segmentation Contest was organized in the context of ICDAR2009 conference in order to record recent advances in off-line handwriting segmentation. This paper descr...
We present a novel algorithm for unsupervised segmentation of natural images that harnesses the principle of minimum description length (MDL). Our method is based on observations ...
