In today's world, time is a very important resource. In our busy lives, most of us hardly have time to read the complete news so what we have to do is just go through the headlines and satisfy ourselves with that. As a result, we might miss…
Blur is an image degradation that is difficult to remove. Invariants with respect to blur offer an alternative way of a~description and recognition of blurred images without any deblurring. In this paper, we present an original unified…
Thresholding converts a greyscale image into a binary image, and is thus often a necessary segmentation step in image processing. For a human viewer however, thresholding usually has a negative impact on the legibility of document images.…
In blind motion deblurring, leading methods today tend towards highly non-convex approximations of the l0-norm, especially in the image regularization term. In this paper, we propose a simple, effective and fast approach for the estimation…
Anomaly detection is the process of identifying atypical data samples that significantly deviate from the majority of the dataset. In the realm of clinical screening and diagnosis, detecting abnormalities in medical images holds great…
When a reader encounters a word in English, they split the word into smaller orthographic units in the process of recognizing its meaning. For example, "rough", when split according to phonemes, is decomposed as r-ou-gh (not as r-o-ugh or…
Historical documents frequently suffer from damage and inconsistencies, including missing or illegible text resulting from issues such as holes, ink problems, and storage damage. These missing portions or gaps are referred to as lacunae. In…
Recovering sharp images from dual-pixel (DP) pairs with disparity-dependent blur is a challenging task.~Existing blur map-based deblurring methods have demonstrated promising results. In this paper, we propose, to the best of our knowledge,…
A comprehensive assessment of retinal health demands reliable and precise methods to measure localized blood perfusion. Despite considerable advancements in imaging techniques, such as indocyanine green and fluorescein angiography, along…
We address the challenging problem of Natural Language Comprehension beyond plain-text documents by introducing the TILT neural network architecture which simultaneously learns layout information, visual features, and textual semantics.…
An increasing number of Chinese people are troubled by different degrees of visual impairment, which has made the modal conversion between a single image or video frame in the visual field and the audio expressing the same information a…
Navigation and obstacle avoidance are some of the hardest tasks for the visually impaired. Recent research projects have proposed technological solutions to tackle this problem. So far most systems fail to provide multidimensional feedback…
Text binarisation process classifies individual pixels as text or background in the textual images. Binarization is necessary to bridge the gap between localization and recognition by OCR. This paper presents Sliding window method to…
Document clustering is an unsupervised approach in which a large collection of documents (corpus) is subdivided into smaller, meaningful, identifiable, and verifiable sub-groups (clusters). Meaningful representation of documents and…
In this work, we propose a new framework, called Document Image Transformer (DocTr), to address the issue of geometry and illumination distortion of the document images. Specifically, DocTr consists of a geometric unwarping transformer and…
This study aims to conduct an extensive detailed analysis of the Odia Braille reading comprehension among students with visual disability. Specifically, the study explores their reading speed and hand or finger movements. The study also…
In this paper, we suggest a new neural network architecture for vanishing point detection in images. The key element is the use of the direct and transposed Fast Hough Transforms separated by convolutional layer blocks with standard…
To recognize textures many methods have been developed along the years. However, texture datasets may be hard to be classified due to artefacts such as a variety of scale, illumination and noise. This paper proposes the application of…
In the real-life environments, due to the sudden appearance of windows, lights, and objects blocking the light source, the visual SLAM system can easily capture the low-contrast images caused by over-exposure or over-darkness. At this time,…
Moving objects are frequently seen in daily life and usually appear blurred in images due to their motion. While general object retrieval is a widely explored area in computer vision, it primarily focuses on sharp and static objects, and…
