Natural scene images coming usually from lowresolution sensors in embedded context suffer from low text recognition results. Due to several types of degradations, existing algorit...
Text detection is fundamental to video information retrieval and indexing. Existing methods cannot handle well those texts with different contrast or embedded in a complex backgro...
—Web-scale image search engines (e.g. Google Image Search, Bing Image Search) mostly rely on surrounding text features. It is difficult for them to interpret users’ search int...

Classification of images in many category datasets has
rapidly improved in recent years. However, systems that
perform well on particular datasets typically have one or
more lim...
This paper presents a new adaptive approach for the binarization and enhancement of degraded documents. The proposed method does not require any parameter tuning by the user and c...
