چکیده

A method for the fronto-parallel recovery of paragraphs of text under full perspective transformation is presented. The horizontal vanishing point of the text plane is found using an extension of 2D projection profiles. This allows the accurate segmentation of the lines of text. Analysis of the lines will then reveal the style of justification of the paragraph, and provide an estimate of the vertical vanishing point of the plane. The text is finally recovered to a fronto-parallel view suitable for OCR or other higher-level recognition.

Natural scene text localization using edge color signature

Localizing text regions in images taken from natural scenes is one of the challenging problems dueto variations in font, size, color and orientation of text. In this paper, we introduce a new concept socalled Edge Color Signature for localizing text regions in an image. This method is able to localizeboth Farsi and English texts. In the proposed method rst a pyramid using diff...

Haines and Calway: Detecting Planes from a Single Image

We propose an algorithm to detect planes in a single image of an outdoor urban scene, capable of identifying multiple distinct planes, and estimating their orientation. Using machine learning techniques, we learn the relationship between appearance and structure from a large set of labelled examples. Plane detection is achieved by classifying multiple overlapping image regions, in order to obta...

Detecting planes and estimating their orientation from a single image

We propose an algorithm to detect planes in a single image of an outdoor urban scene, capable of identifying multiple distinct planes, and estimating their orientation. Planar surfaces are ubiquitous in man-made environments, and convey useful information about scene structure; detecting them from a single image can be very useful since it requires no parallax, and can be done when only one ima...

Estimating Planar Structure in Single Images by Learning from Examples

Outdoor urban scenes typically contain many planar surfaces, which are useful for tasks such as scene reconstruction, object recognition, and navigation, especially when only a single image is available. In such situations the lack of 3D information makes finding planes difficult; but motivated by how humans use their prior knowledge to interpret new scenes with ease, we develop a method which ...

Impulsive Noise Elimination Considering the Bit Planes Information of the Image

Impulsive noise is one of the imposed defectives degrades the quality of images. Performance of many image processing applications directly depends on the quality of the input image. Hence, it is necessary to de-noise the degraded images without losing their valuable information such as edges. In this paper we propose a method to remove impulsive noise from color images without damaging the ima...
