„Book Cover Analysis”

Book Cover Recognition

Here we developed a MATLAB based Graphical User Interface for people to check the information of desired books in real-time. The GUI allows user to take photos of the book cover. Then it will automatically detect features of the input image based on MSER algorithm, then it will filter out non-text features based on morphological difference between text and non-text regions. In order to further ...

Judging a Book By its Cover

Book covers communicate information to potential readers, but can that same information be learned by computers? We propose using a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to predict the genre of a book based on the visual clues provided by its cover. The purpose of this research is to investigate whether relationships between books and their covers can be learned. However, determining the genr...

Extraction of Bibliography Information Based on Image of Book Cover

Classification of Book Genres By Cover and Title

This paper discusses the classification of books purely based on cover image and title, without prior knowledge or context of author and origin. Several methods were implemented to assess the ability to distinguish books based on only these two characteristics. First we used a color-based distribution approach. Then we implemented transfer learning with convolutional neural networks on the cove...

Locked-in: don't judge a book by its cover.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; also called motor neuron disease) is a devastating medical condition that progressively robs patients of their ability to move, speak and eventually breathe. At present, many physicians are hesitant to propose tracheostomy and respiratory support in the terminal phase of ALS. In accordance with the principle of patient autonomy, physicians should respect the ...
