We are interested in a general alpha matting approach for the simultaneous extraction of multiple image layers; each layer may have disjoint segments for material matting not limi...
We address the topic of real-time analysis and recognition of silhouettes. The method that we propose first produces object features obtained by a new type of morphological operato...
A Bayesian framework for deformable pattern classification has been proposed in [1] with promising results for isolated handwritten character recognition. Its performance, however...
Recognizing texts from camera images is a known hard problem because of the difficulties in text segmentation from the varied and complicated backgrounds. In this paper, we propo...
A variety of web sites and web based services produce textual lists at varying time granularities ranked according to several criteria. For example, Google Trends produces lists o...
