چکیده

In this paper we introduce a new technique for presenting textual information within images and for enabling users to interact with these texts. Our method relies on shading images using text-based dither matrices; users extract text by effectively enlarging the dither matrices to the point where text becomes legible. Transitions between matrix sizes are carried out step by step and can be implemented at interactive rates so that the process of extracting text is seen as an animation. The technique can be used in electronic books for users wishing to explore images. It also provides the first solution for working smoothly with multiply linked image maps.

Directional Stroke Width Transform to Separate Text and Graphics in City Maps

One of the complex documents in the real world is city maps. In these kinds of maps, text labels overlap by graphics with having a variety of fonts and styles in different orientations. Usually, text and graphic colour is not predefined due to various map publishers. In most city maps, text and graphic lines form a single connected component. Moreover, the common regions of text and graphic lin...

On Analytical Study of Self-Affine Maps

Self-affine maps were successfully used for edge detection, image segmentation, and contour extraction. They belong to the general category of patch-based methods. Particularly, each self-affine map is defined by one pair of patches in the image domain. By minimizing the difference between these patches, the optimal translation vector of the self-affine map is obtained. Almost all image process...

Learning Document Image Features With SqueezeNet Convolutional Neural Network

The classification of various document images is considered an important step towards building a modern digital library or office automation system. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifiers trained with backpropagation are considered to be the current state of the art model for this task. However, there are two major drawbacks for these classifiers: the huge computational power demand for...

A Novel Multiply-Accumulator Unit Bus Encoding Architecture for Image Processing Applications

In the CMOS circuit power dissipation is a major concern for VLSI functional units. With shrinking feature size, increased frequency and power dissipation on the data bus have become the most important factor compared to other parts of the functional units. One of the most important functional units in any processor is the Multiply-Accumulator unit (MAC). The current work focuses on the develop...

Image retrieval using the combination of text-based and content-based algorithms

Image retrieval is an important research field which has received great attention in the last decades. In this paper, we present an approach for the image retrieval based on the combination of text-based and content-based features. For text-based features, keywords and for content-based features, color and texture features have been used. Query in this system contains some keywords and an input...
