New devices gaining access to the Internet need to obtain multimedia content adapted to their limited capacities. Scalable formats allow to retrieve different versions of a single...
In this paper, we propose an efficient text detection method based on the Laplacian operator. The maximum gradient difference value is computed for each pixel in the Laplacian-fil...
