Text detection, the key technology for understanding scene text, has become an attractive research topic. For detecting various scene texts, researchers propose plenty of detectors with different advantages: detection-based models enjoy…
Text segmentation is an inherent part of an OCR system irrespective of the domain of application of it. The OCR system contains a segmentation module where the text lines, words and ultimately the characters must be segmented properly for…
A precise, controllable, interpretable and easily trainable text removal approach is necessary for both user-specific and large-scale text removal applications. To achieve this, we propose a one-stage mask-based text inpainting network,…
We present a robotic system capable of navigating autonomously by following a line and taking good quality pictures of people. When a group of people are detected, the robot rotates towards them and then back to line while continuously…
The current work is focusing on the implementation of a robust watermarking algorithm for digital images, which is based on an innovative spread spectrum analysis algorithm for watermark embedding and on a content-based image retrieval…
Image-text matching is an important multi-modal task with massive applications. It tries to match the image and the text with similar semantic information. Existing approaches do not explicitly transform the different modalities into a…
