In this paper, a computer vision based system is introduced to automatically sort apple fruits. An artificial neural network segments the defected regions on fruit by pixel-wise p...
It has been shown that speech spectrograms can be read by trained experts. In this work, we regard the speech spectrogram image as a written text in some unknown language and perf...
In this paper, we propose a salient object extraction method using the contrast map and salient points for object-based image retrieval. In order to make the contrast map, we gener...
Many images--especially those used for page design on web pages--as well as videos contain visible text. If these text occurrences could be detected, segmented, and recognized auto...
We propose semantic texton forests, efficient and powerful new low-level features. These are ensembles of decision trees that act directly on image pixels, and therefore do not ne...
