This paper addresses the problem of foreground extraction using active illumination and graph-cut optimization. Our approach starts by detecting image regions that are likely to b...
We investigate a method using support vector machines (SVMs) with walk-based graph kernels for high-level feature extraction from images. In this method, each image is first segme...
Segmentation of Nom characters from body text regions of stele images is a challenging problem due to the confusing spatial distribution of the connected components composing these...
In the last decade, graph-cut optimization has been popular for a variety of pixel labeling problems. Typically graph-cut methods are used to incorporate a smoothness prior on a l...
Abstract. This paper presents a general framework to segment curvilinear objects in 2D images. A pre-processing step relies on mathematical morphology to obtain a connected line wh...
