This paper addresses the problem of developing appropriate features for use in direct modeling approaches to speech recognition, such as those based on Maximum Entropy models or S...
Detecting shadows from images can significantly improve the performance of several vision tasks such as object detection and tracking. Recent approaches have mainly used illuminat...
Cascading techniques are commonly used to speed-up the scan of an image for object detection. However, cascades of detectors are slow to train due to the high number of detectors a...

This paper presents a novel hybrid method for extracting license plates and recognizing characters from low-quality videos using morphological operations and Adaboost algorithm. F...
This paper introduces an affine invariant shape descriptor for maximally stable extremal regions (MSER). Affine invariant feature descriptors are normally computed by sampling the...
