We present a robust method for 3D reconstruction of closed surfaces from sparsely sampled parallel contours. A solution to this problem is especially important for medical segment...
Image retrieval based on content from digital libraries, multimedia databases, the Internet, and other sources has been an important problem addressed by several researchers. In t...
It is well known that the text that appears in a video scene or is graphically added to it is an important source of semantic information for indexing and retrieval, notably in the...
In this paper, we propose a method based on the skeletonization operation for multi-oriented video text detection. The first step uses our existing Laplacian-based method to ident...

Image matting aims at extracting foreground elements from an image by means of color and opacity (alpha) estimation. While a lot of progress has been made in recent years on impro...
