In this paper, we propose a word shape recognition method for retrieving image-based documents. Document images are segmented at the word level first. Then the proposed method det...
In the context of graphics recognition, arc detection consists in the extraction of circles and arcs from the image of a graphics document or from the segments yielded by its vect...
We present an irregular image pyramid which is derived from multi-scale analysis of segmented watershed regions. Our framework is based on the development of regions in the Gaussia...
