Most cost function based clustering or partitioning methods measure the compactness of groups of data. In contrast to this picture of a point source in feature space, some data sou...
This paper presents a novel variational method for supervised texture segmentation. The textured feature space is generated by filtering the given textured images using isotropic ...
It is an important topic for segmentation on how to merge the over-segmented subimages of characters into integral characters. The conventional character segmentation has been mos...
We present an algorithm that recognizes objects of a given category using a small number of hand segmented images as references. Our method first over segments an input image into...
This paper describes a handwritten character string recognition system for Japanese mail address reading on very large vocabulary. The address phrases are recognized as a whole bec...
