We present a very simple and effective method for eliminating the degeneracy inherent in a planar scene, and demonstrate its performance in a useful application -- that of binocul...
This paper compares two techniques for measuring the length of a digital curve. Both techniques (digital straight segment approximation, minimum length polygon) are known to be co...
Amethod for quick determination of the position and pose of a 3D free-form object with respect to its 2D projective image(s) is proposed. It is a precondition of the method that a...

Industrial inspection robots, which are to move around a nuclear power plant and carry out inspection tasks, must follow a given route while observing static and dynamic features ...
This paper demonstrates the use of a simple but effective color-based inspection method in parquet slab grading. The approach is to divide the image to small rectangular regions a...
Distorted character recognition is a difficult but inevitable problem in hand-printed character recognition. In this paper, we propose a character recognition method using elastic...
In order to process video data efficiently, a video segmentation technique through scene change detection must be employed. Many of advanced video applications require manipulatio...
Invariance is an important aspect in image object recognition. We present results obtained with an extended tangent distance incorporated in a kernel density based Bayesian classi...
This paper proposes a vision-based augmented reality system with a wide range of registration. To realize an augmented reality system, it is required to geometrically register rea...
We propose an algorithm to find piecewise linear skeletons of hand-written characters by using principal curves. The development of the method was inspired by the apparent similar...
