Scene text images feature an abundance of font style variety but a dearth of data in any given query. Recognition methods must be robust to this variety or adapt to the query data...
We propose an unsupervised method for evaluating image segmentation. Common methods are typically based on evaluating smoothness within segments and contrast between them, and the...
A modern approach to manage multimedia databases is content-based retrieval. Especially in image databases graphical features like color, texture or shape can be used efficiently ...
In this work we introduce a probabilistic model for classifying segmented images. The proposed classifier is very general and it can deal both with images that were segmented wit...
Global shape information is an effective top-down complement
to bottom-up figure-ground segmentation as well
as a useful constraint to avoid drift during adaptive tracking.
We p...
