There are many difficulties facing a handwritten Arabic recognition system such as unlimited variation in human handwriting, similarities of distinct character shapes, interconnections of neighbouring characters and their position in the…
Removing perspective distortion from hand held camera captured document images is one of the primitive tasks in document analysis, but unfortunately, no such method exists that can reliably remove the perspective distortion from document…
Most computer vision and machine learning-based approaches for historical document analysis are tailored to grayscale or RGB images and thus, mostly exploit their spatial information. Multispectral (MS) and hyperspectral (HS) images…
The Hough transform is a popular and classical technique in computer vision for the detection of lines (or more general objects). It maps a pixel into a dual space -- the Hough space: each pixel is mapped to the set of lines through this…
Blind deconvolution is the problem of recovering a sharp image and a blur kernel from a noisy blurry image. Recently, there has been a significant effort on understanding the basic mechanisms to solve blind deconvolution. While this effort…
The problem of converting images of text into plain text is a widely researched topic in both academia and industry. Arabic handwritten Text Recognation (AHTR) poses additional challenges due to diverse handwriting styles and limited…
Conventional optical character recognition (OCR) techniques segmented each character and then recognized. This made them prone to error in character segmentation, and devoid of context to exploit language models. Advances in sequence to…
With the improvement of social life quality and the real needs of daily work, images are more and more all around us. Image blurring due to camera shake, human movement, etc. has become the key to affecting image quality. How to remove…
Image quality is the basis of image communication and understanding tasks. Due to the blur and noise effects caused by imaging, transmission and other processes, the image quality is degraded. Blind image restoration is widely used to…
Digital holographic microscopy is a thriving imaging modality that attracted considerable research interest in quantitative biological cell imaging due to its ability to not only create excellent label-free contrast, but also supply…
Recognizing text from natural images is a hot research topic in computer vision due to its various applications. Despite the enduring research of several decades on optical character recognition (OCR), recognizing texts from natural images…
This paper introduces a live object recognition system that serves as a blind aid. Visually impaired people heavily rely on their other senses such as touch and auditory signals for understanding the environment around them. The act of…
Extracting Handwritten text is one of the most important components of digitizing information and making it available for large scale setting. Handwriting Optical Character Reader (OCR) is a research problem in computer vision and natural…
The absence of effective communication the deaf population represents the main social gap in this community. Furthermore, the sign language, main deaf communication tool, is unlettered, i.e., there is no formal written representation. In…
Offline handwriting recognition (HWR) has improved significantly with the advent of deep learning architectures in recent years. Nevertheless, it remains a challenging problem and practical applications often rely on post-processing…
In this paper we present a new approach for pupil segmentation. It can be computed and trained very efficiently, making it ideal for online use for high speed eye trackers as well as for energy saving pupil detection in mobile eye tracking.…
We propose an improved eye center localization method based on the Hough transform, called Circle-based Eye Center Localization (CECL) that is simple, robust, and achieves accuracy on a par with typically more complex state-of-the-art…
Blind deconvolution aims to recover an original image from a blurred version in the case where the blurring kernel is unknown. It has wide applications in diverse fields such as astronomy, microscopy, and medical imaging. Blind…
This paper presents a solution to controlling humanoid robotic systems. The robot can be programmed to execute certain complex actions based on basic motion primitives. The humanoid robot is programmed using a PC. The software running on…
A novel method to convert color/multi-spectral images to gray-level images is introduced to increase the performance of document binarization methods. The method uses the distribution of the pixel data of the input document image in a color…
