A crucial preprocessing stage in applications such as OCR is text extraction from mixed-type documents. The present work, in contrast to most until now, successfully faces the pro...
This paper proposes a new technique of figureground discrimination of color characters in scene images following two steps. The first step is temporary binarization by selecting o...
This paper presents an improved version of our specific methodology to detect the vessel tree in retinal angiographies. The automatic analysis of retinal vessel tree facilitates ...
Coding-based method, which encodes the responses of a bank of filters into bitwise features, has been very successful in palmprint representation and matching. Palmprints, however...

This paper presents a new feature extraction method for iris recognition. Since two dimensional complex wavelet transform (2D-CWT) does not only keep wavelet transform’s propert...
In this paper, a novel subspace learning method, semi-supervised marginal discriminant analysis (SMDA), is proposed for classification. SMDA aims at maintaining the intrinsic neig...
