Writer Identification from Non-uniformly Skewed Handwriting Images
Many techniques have been reported for handwriting-based writer identification. Most such techniques assume that the written text is fixed (e.g., in signature verification). In th...

Improving Stereo Performance in Regions of Low Texture
In images with low texture the performance of conventional dense stereo can be poor. The usual solution to this is to use a large window but this itself can be problematic as the ...

Multi-Scale 3-D Free-Form Surface Smoothing
A novel technique for multi-scale smoothing of a free-form 3-D surface is presented. Complete triangulated models of 3-D objects are constructed (through fusion of range images) a...
