In this paper, we present a new method for detecting curvilinear structures and reconstructing their regions in gray-scale images. The concept of skeleton extraction is introduced...
Abstract. This paper proposes a novel curvilinear structure detector, called Optimally Oriented Flux (OOF). OOF finds an optimal axis on which image gradients are projected in orde...
A robust character region identification approach is proposed here to deal with cover images using a differential top-hat transformation (DTT). The DTT is derived from morphologica...
—Image-based computation of a 3D map for an indoor environment is a very challenging task, but also a useful step for vision-based navigation and path planning for autonomous sys...
We consider the problem of detecting object contours in natural images. In many cases, local luminance changes turn out to be stronger in textured areas than on object contours. Th...
