Image space feature detection is the act of selecting points or parts of an image that are easy to distinguish from the surrounding image region. By combining a repeatable point detection with a descriptor, parts of an image can be matched…
Typography and layout lead to the hierarchical organisation of text in words, text lines, paragraphs. This inherent structure is a key property of text in any script and language, which has nonetheless been minimally leveraged by existing…
We propose a new approach, named PolyMapper, to circumvent the conventional pixel-wise segmentation of (aerial) images and predict objects in a vector representation directly. PolyMapper directly extracts the topological map of a city from…
