Wavelet transform; Multilingual text; Wavelet decomposition; Gabor filter; k-Means clustering; Linked list approach; Wavelet entropy Abstract The present paper presents one of the efficient approaches towards multilingual text detection for video indexing. In this paper, we propose a method for detecting text located in varying and complex background in images/video. The present approach comprises four stages: In the first stage, combination of wavelet transform and Gabor filter is applied. By applying single level 2D wavelet decomposition with Gabor filter, the intrinsic features comprising sharp edges and texture features of an input image are obtained. In the second stage, the resultant Gabor image is classified using k-means clustering algorithm. In the third stage, morphological operations are performed on clustered pixels. Then a concept of linked list approach is used to build a true textline sequence of connected components. In the final stage, wavelet entropy of an input image is measured by signifying the complexity of unsteady signals corresponding to the position of textline sequence of connected components in leading to determine the true text region of an input image. The performance of the

An Unsupervised Scheme for Detection of Microcalcifications on Mammograms

Clusters of Microcalcifications which appear like small white grains of sand on Mammograms are the earliest signs of Breast Cancer. In this work we employ a Gabor filter bank for texture analysis of mammograms to detect microcalcifications. A subset of the Gabor filter bank with a certain central frequency and different orientations is used to obtain the Gabor-filtered images. The filtered imag...

Texture Classification of Diffused Liver Diseases Using Wavelet Transforms

Introduction: A major problem facing the patients with chronic liver diseases is the diagnostic procedure.  The conventional diagnostic method depends mainly on needle biopsy which is an invasive method. There  are  some  approaches  to  develop  a  reliable  noninvasive  method  of  evaluating  histological  changes  in  sonograms. The main characteristic used to distinguish between the normal...
