Granulometric Analysis of Document Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on new form of multivariate granulometries based on rectangles of varying size and aspect ratio. These granulometries are used for describing visual similarity between document images. Rectangular granulometries are used to probe the layout structure of document images, and the rectangular size distributions derived from them are used as descriptors for each image. Feature selection is used to reduce the dimensionality and redundancy of the size distributions, while preserving the essence of the visual appearance of a document. Experimental results indicate that rectangular size distributions are an effective way to characterize visual similarity of document images, and provide insightful interpretation of classification results in the original image space.

Granulometric Maps from High Resolution Satellite Images
A new method of land cover mapping from satellite images using granulometric analysis is presented here. Discontinuous landscapes such as steppian bushes of semi arid regions and recently growing urban settlements are especially concerned by this study. Spatial organisations of the land cover are quantified by means of the size distribution analysis of the land cover units extracted from high r...
متن کاملGeneralized multiscale connected operators with applications to granulometric image analysis
In this paper, generalized granulometric size distributions and size histograms (a.k.a ‘pattern spectra’) are developed using generalized multiscale lattice operators of the opening and closing type. The generalized size histograms are applied to granulometric analysis of soilsection images. An interesting structure is obtained when the histogram is based on area openings. Furthermore, a fast i...

In this paper we present Document analysis and classification system to segment and classify contents of Arabic document images. This system includes preprocessing, document segmentation, feature extraction and document classification. A document image is enhanced in the preprocessing by removing noise, binarization, and detecting and correcting image skew. In document segmentation, an algorith...
متن کاملLocal Grayscale Granulometries Based on Opening Trees
Granulometries are morphological image analysis tools that are particularly useful for estimating object sizes in binary and grayscale images, or for characterizing textures based on their pattern spectra (i.e., granulometric curves). Though granulometric information is typically extracted globally for an image or a collection of images, local granulometries can also be useful for such applicat...
متن کاملGlobal Image Feature Extraction Using Slope Pattern Spectra
A novel algorithm inspired by the integral image representation to derive an increasing slope segment pattern spectrum (called the Slope Pattern Spectrum for convenience), is proposed. Although many pattern spectra algorithms have their roots in mathematical morphology, this is not the case for the proposed algorithm. Granulometries and their resulting pattern spectra are useful tools for textu...
