This paper describes and analyzes the aggregation pheromone system (APS) algorithm, which extends ant colony optimization (ACO) to continuous domains. APS uses the collective behav...
This paper presents an algorithm using adaptive local connectivity map for retrieving text lines from the complex handwritten documents such as handwritten historical manuscripts....
This paper evaluates the effectiveness of keypoint methods for content-based protection of digital images. These methods identify a set of “distinctive” regions (termed keypoi...
Pose estimation involves reconstructing the configuration of a moving body from images sequences. In this paper we present a general framework for pose estimation of unknown obje...
Instead of the conventional background and foreground definition, we propose a novel method that decomposes a scene into time-varying background and foreground intrinsic images. T...
