چکیده
Abstraet--A phrase recognition method for recognition of street name images is presented in this paper. Some of the challenges posed by the problem are: (i) patron errors, (ii) non-standardized way of abbreviating names, and (iii) variable number of words in a street name image. A neural network has been designed to segment words in a phrase, using distance between components and style of writing. Experiments show perfect word segmentation performance of 85%. Substring matching is attempted only between the main body of a lexicon entry and the word segments of an image. Efforts to reduce computational complexity are successfully made by the sharing of character segmentation results between the segmentation and recognition phases. 83% phrase recognition accuracy was achieved on a test set. © 1997 Pattern Recognition Society.

On the Canny edge detector
The Canny edge detector is widely used in computer vision to locate sharp intensity changes and to nd object boundaries in an image The Canny edge detector classi es a pixel as an edge if the gradient magnitude of the pixel is larger than those of pixels at both its sides in the direction of maximum intensity change In this paper we will show that de ning edges in this manner causes some obviou...
متن کاملEvaluation of a hypothesizer for silhouette-based 3-D object recognition
Shape retrieval and shape-based object recognition are closely related problems; however, they have di2erent task contexts, performance criteria, and database characteristics. In previous work, we proposed a method for similarity-based 2-D shape retrieval using scale-space part decompositions, part-frequency distributions, and structural indexing. In this paper, we evaluate the use of that shap...
متن کاملA New Algorithm For Line Image Vectorization
In this paper, a new approach which differentiates from the conventional thinning algorithms in vectorizing a raster line image called maximal inscribing circle (MIC) is used. This region-based vectorization algorithm takes the ensemble of pixels within the line segments collectively as legitimate candidates in deciding the vectorized representation. An iterative procedure is outlined and the c...
