Robust least-square-baseline finding using a branch and bound algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
Many document analysis and OCR systems depend on precise identification of page rotation, as well as the reliable identification of text lines. This paper presents a new algorithm to address both problems. It uses a branch-and-bound approach to globally optimal line finding and simultaneously models the baseline and the descender line under a Gaussian error/robust least square model. Results of applying the algorithm to documents in the University of Washington Database 2 are presented.

A Branch and Bound Method for Finding Flow Path Designing of Agv Systems (RESEARCH NOTE)
One of the important factor in the design of automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS) is the flow path design. This paper presents a branch-and-bound algorithm to determining the flow path by considering not only loaded-vehicles, but also empty-vehicles. The objective is to find the flow path, which will minimize total travel of loaded vehicles. We know that in branch-and-bound method a branch c...
متن کاملOn the use of interval arithmetic in geometric branch and bound algorithms
Branch and bound methods have become established methods for geometric matching over the last decade. This paper presents techniques that improve on previous branch and bound methods in two important ways: they guarantee reliable solutions even in the presence of numerical roundoff error, and they eliminate the need to derive bounding functions manually. These new techniques are compared experi...
متن کاملMaximizing service level in a β-robust job shop scheduling model
In the realm of scheduling problems, different sources of uncertainty such as probabilistic durations of jobs or stochastic breakdowns of machines can arise. Given this, one highly desirable characteristic of an intelligent schedule is to bring better punctuality with less efficiency-loss because a dominant factor in customer appreciation is punctuality. It is also one of the most intangible to...
متن کاملA modified branch and bound algorithm for a vague flow-shop scheduling problem
Uncertainty plays a significant role in modeling and optimization of real world systems. Among uncertain approaches, fuzziness describes impreciseness while for ambiguity another definition is required. Vagueness is a probabilistic model of uncertainty being helpful to include ambiguity into modeling different processes especially in industrial systems. In this paper, a vague set based on dista...
متن کاملA Robust Distributed Estimation Algorithm under Alpha-Stable Noise Condition
Robust adaptive estimation of unknown parameter has been an important issue in recent years for reliable operation in the distributed networks. The conventional adaptive estimation algorithms that rely on mean square error (MSE) criterion exhibit good performance in the presence of Gaussian noise, but their performance drastically decreases under impulsive noise. In this paper, we propose a rob...
