Abstract. In this paper, we propose a novel type of explicit image filter - guided filter. Derived from a local linear model, the guided filter generates the filtering output b...
The method of wavelet thresholding for removing noise, or denoising, has been researched extensively due to its effectiveness and simplicity. Much of the literature has focused on ...
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...

Shape representation is a difficult task because of several symbol distortions, such as occlusions, elastic deformations, gaps or noise. In this paper, we propose a new descriptor ...
In this paper, we propose a method for recognizing lowresolution characters using a super-resolution technique. Although portable digital cameras can be used for camerabased chara...
