This paper aims at detecting textual regions by separating graphical regions using Selective CRLA scheme and statistical textual properties on noise infected and low resolution newspaper images. A Bottom Up approach is adopted (i.e.) Selective Constrained Run Length algorithm (CRLA) is applied to obtain the layouts and region growing method over it, segments the homogeneous regions. Statistical...

In this paper, we present a method based on vectorial signatures, which aims at discriminating, by a fast technique, symbols represented within technical documents. The use of signatures on this kind of document has an obvious interest. Indeed, considering a raw vectorial description of the graphical layer of a technical document (e.g. a set of arcs and segments), signatures can be used to perf...

eScience is an umbrella concept which covers internet technologies, such as web service orchestration that involves manipulation and processing of high volumes of data, using simple and efficient methodologies. This concept is normally associated with bioinformatics, but nothing prevents the use of an identical approach for geoinfomatics and OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) web services like WP...
