In this paper, we propose an effective scene text recognition method using sparse coding based features, called Histograms of Sparse Codes (HSC) features. For character detection, we use the HSC features instead of using the Histograms of…
Personalized head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) are essential for ensuring a realistic auditory experience over headphones, because they take into account individual anatomical differences that affect listening. Most machine learning…
