Abstract. An approach to symbolic contour extraction will be described that consists of three stages: enhancement, detection, and extraction of edges and corners. Edges and corners...

In this paper, we present a robust system to accurately detect and localize texts in natural scene images. For text detection, a region-based method utilizing multiple features an...
This paper presents a new graph cut-based multiple active contour algorithm to detect optimal boundaries and regions in images without initial contours and seed points. The task of...
This paper presents a novel graph-theoretic approach, named ratio contour, to extract perceptually salient boundaries from a set of noisy boundary fragments detected in real image...
Global region-based active contours, like the Chan-Vese model, often make strong assumptions on the intensity distributions of the searched object and background, preventing their ...
