As digital cameras have been used widely, a technology to extract features of character string areas from scenery (nature) image is required. However, it is very difficult to extr...
Face detection has many interesting applications such as a face recognition system, a surveillance system, and videolimage indexing system. In this paper, we propose a new method ...
This paper presents a new interest point detector for color images. It is based on a non linear filtering of the image which preserves edges, and on the use of a color point detec...
In this paper, an efficient edge-based approach, including implementation of a hardware system, for locating car license plate area from images taken under relatively complex cond...
A method of comparing and identifying two patterns is proposed based on the accidental coincidence probability of the patterns' features. The probability is calculated under ...
We present an approach for nonlinear optimization of the parameters of an endoscopic camera mounted on a surgery robot. The goal is to generate a depth map for each image in order...
To collect the information on devastated districts, it is effective to use helicopters. However, the operation using manned helicopters costs a lot. It is expected that the use of...
