In this paper, we address the problem of discovering the 3D shape of a book surface from the shading information in a scanned document image. This shapefrom-shading problem is cha...
—In this paper, a new binarization algorithm for degraded document images is proposed. The method is based on positive and negative pixel energies using the Laplacian of an image...
Approaches analyzing local characteristics of an image prevail in image restoration. However, they are less effective in cases of restoring images degraded by large size point spr...
Iris recognition is a biometric technique which uses unique iris patterns between the pupil and sclera. The advantage of iris recognition lies in high recognition accuracy; howeve...
Recently, high resolution digital cameras have made the digitization process more flexible and convenient than traditional scanning technology. Therefore, document image analysis ...
