We present a simple general scheme for improving margins that is inspired on well known margin theory principles. The scheme is based on a sample re-weighting strategy. The very b...
In this paper we present a new approach to classifying radiographs, which is the first important task of the IRMA system. Given an image, we compute posterior probabilities for ea...
When dealing with pattern recognition problems one encounters different types of a-priori knowledge. It is important to incorporate such knowledge into the classification method ...
Abstract. We introduce the use of appearance-based features, and tangent distance or the image distortion model to account for image variability within the hidden Markov model emis...

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...
In this paper, we propose the combination of the Self Organizing Map (SOM) and of the tangent distance for effective clustering in Document Image Analysis. The proposed model (SOM...
We wish to match sets of images to sets of images where both sets are undergoing various distortions such as viewpoint and lighting changes. To this end we have developed a Joint ...
