چکیده

We propose an objective, comprehensive, and complexity independent metric for performance evaluation of graphics/text separation (text segmentation) algorithms. The metric includes a positive set and a negative set of indices, at both the character and the character string (text) levels, and it evaluates the detection accuracy of the location, width, height, orientation, skew, string length, and the fragmentation of both characters and strings. Assigning a Segmentation Difficulty (SD) value to the ground truth characters, the performance indices are normalized with respect to the character SD and are therefore independent of the ground truth complexity. The evaluation provides an overall, objective, and comprehensive metric of the text segmentation capability of various algorithms aimed at performing this task.

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...

Investigating the Effects of Hardware Parameters on Power Consumptions in SPMV Algorithms on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs)

Although Sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SPMVs) algorithms are simple, they include important parts of Linear Algebra algorithms in Mathematics and Physics areas. As these algorithms can be run in parallel, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) has been considered as one of the best candidates to run these algorithms. In the recent years, power consumption has been considered as one of the metr...

Research of Blind Signals Separation with Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization Based on Mutual Information

Blind source separation technique separates mixed signals blindly without any information on the mixing system. In this paper, we have used two evolutionary algorithms, namely, genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization for blind source separation. In these techniques a novel fitness function that is based on the mutual information and high order statistics is proposed. In order to evalu...
