In this paper, we present a real-time image processing technique for the detection of steam in video images. The assumption made is that the presence of steam acts as a blurring p...
This paper discusses a novel and effective technique for extracting multiple ellipses from an image, using a Multi-Population Genetic Algorithm (MPGA). MPGA evolves a number of su...
Object detection can be challenging when the object class exhibits large variations. One commonly-used strategy is to first partition the space of possible object variations and t...

We present a text-based approach for the automatic indexing and retrieval of digital photographs taken at crime scenes. Our research prototype, SOCIS, goes beyond keyword-based ap...
We address the practical problem of automating the process of translating figures from mathematics, science, and engineering textbooks to a tactile form suitable for blind student...
