In this paper we explore database segmentation in the context of a column-store DBMS targeted at a scientific database. We present a novel hardware- and scheme-oblivious segmentati...
Page segmentation algorithms found in published literatures often rely on some predetermined parameters such as general font sizes, distances between text lines and document scan ...
We discuss problems in developing policies for ground truthing document images for pixel-accurate segmentation. First, we describe ground truthing policies that apply to four diff...
For designing aesthetic surfaces, such as the car bodies, it is very important to use aesthetic curves as characteristic lines. In such curves, the curvature should be monotonical...
In this paper we report experience in the use of computational grids in the domain of natural language processing, particularly in the area of information extraction, to create qu...
