Meshing is a popular technology for feature extraction in handwritten Chinese character recognition. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical overlapped elastic meshing (HOEM), wh...
A multi-stage approach is presented for thresholding document images, along with its application. The proposed method is based on two stages. Global thresholding is used in first ...
In this paper, a machine learning approach to support the user during the correction of the layout analysis is proposed. Layout analysis is the process of extracting a hierarchica...
A novel technique is presented in this paper to extract strings in color images of both Business Settlement Plan (BSP) and non-BSP airline coupon. The essential concept is to remo...
In this paper, we propose a framework for engineering drawings recognition using a case-based approach. The key idea of our scheme is that, interactively, the user provides an exa...
This paper describes the robust reading competitions for ICDAR 2003. With the rapid growth in research over the last few years on recognizing text in natural scenes, there is an u...

This paper describes a complete system for reading typewritten lexicon words in noisy images - in this case museum index cards. The system is conceptually simple, and straightforw...
This article describes a new segmentation by thresholding approach based on learning. The method consists in learning to threshold correctly submitting both an image and its ideal...
A number of techniques have previously been proposed for effective thresholding of document images. In this paper two new thresholding techniques are proposed and compared against...

The nearest-neighbor based document skew detection methods do not require the presence of a predominant text area, and are not subject to skew angle limitation. However, the accur...
