Range sensing technology allows the photo-realistic modeling of large-scale scenes, such as urban structures. A major bottleneck in the process of 3D scene acquisition is the auto...
A key goal of far-field activity analysis is to learn the usual pattern of activity in a scene and to detect statistically anomalous behavior. We propose a method for unsupervised...
We present a novel image operator that seeks to find the value of stroke width for each image pixel, and demonstrate its use on the task of text detection in natural images. The s...
We propose a system that reads the text encountered in natural scenes with the aim to provide assistance to the visually impaired persons. This paper describes the system design a...
—Reading text from photographs is a challenging problem that has received a signicant amount of attention. Two key components of most systems are (i) text detection from images a...
