Two Decades of Near‐Surface Seismology Progress

Shallow seismic methods have matured noticeably over the two decades since the first SAGEEP was held in 1988. At that time, the world’s scientific literature contained no more than a dozen refereed papers on shallow (less then 30 meters deep) reflection, but now there are hundreds of such examples. Analysis of surface waves was done with two-channel seismic systems in the 1980’s, whereas seismo...

Structural alignment of plain text books

When aligning two versions of a book, results are often affected by unpaired sections – sections which only exist in one of the versions of the book.

Few studies have been done in this direction. In this work we detail a novel approach for the automatic text localization in scanned comics book pages, ...
