Vehicle Manufacturer Recognition (VMR) has recently become a key feature to be used when license plate numbers cannot be detected or fake plate numbers are used in traffic control and management applications. One of the clearest indicators of a vehicle manufacturer is its vehicle logo. In this way, most of the vision-based VMR approaches are based on vehicle logo classification. In this work, w...

BACKGROUND There is limited research on awareness of alcohol warning labels and their effects. The current study examined the awareness of the Australian voluntary warning labels, the 'Get the facts' logo (a component of current warning labels) that directs consumers to an industry-designed informational website, and whether alcohol consumers visited this website. METHODS Participants aged 18...

TV logo detection, tracking and removal play an important role in the applications of claiming video content ownership, logo-based broadcasting surveillance, commercial skipping, and program rebroadcasting with new logos. In this paper, we present a novel and robust framework using tensor method for these three tasks. First, we use tensor based generalized gradient and the OTSU binarization alg...

By both increasing the availability of healthy foods and labeling these products with the Choices logo, caterers may facilitate employees to make a healthier choice in their worksite cafeterias. The aim of this study was to explore which attributes influence the implementation of the Choices logo in worksite cafeterias in the Netherlands. Questionnaires were completed by catering managers of 31...

During the past decade, the world is becoming more and more an information driven society. Information and communication technologies represent a large fraction of the economy and are being used almost everywhere. Sometimes there is a tendency for thinking that technology can cause harm to kids when used and abused from very early ages. However, if properly used, technology can help children to...

People are regularly bombarded with logos in an attempt to improve brand recognition, and logos are often designed with the central purpose of memorability. The ubiquitous Apple logo is a simple design and is often referred to as one of the most recognizable logos in the world. The present study examined recall and recognition for this simple and pervasive logo and to what degree metamemory (co...

The procedure of detection and recognition for separated part logos in document images is a major problem in logo detection and recognition algorithms that previously have presented. In this paper, a novel logo detection and recognition framework based on spatial and structural features especially for separated part logos application is proposed. To overcome this problem, we consider some speci...
