Sequential Monte Carlo video text segmentation

چکیده
This paper presents a probabilistic algorithm for segmenting and recognizing text embedded in video sequences. The algorithm approximates the posterior distribution of segmentation thresholds of video text by a set of weighted samples. After initialization the set of samples is recursively refined by random sampling under a temporal Bayesian framework. The proposed methodology allows us to estimate the optimal text segmentation parameters directly in function of the string recognition results instead of segmentation quality. Results on a database of 6944 images demonstrate the validity of the algorithm. 1

Video text recognition using sequential Monte Carlo and error voting methods
This paper addresses the issue of segmentation and recognition of text embedded in video sequences from their associated text image sequence extracted by a text detection module. To this end, we propose a probabilistic algorithm based on Bayesian adaptive thresholding and Monte-Carlo sampling. The algorithm approximates the posterior distribution of segmentation thresholds of text pixels in an ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo video text segmentation
This paper presents a probabilistic algorithm for segmenting and recognizing text embedded in video sequences based on adaptive thresholding using a Bayes filtering method. The algorithm approximates the posterior distribution of segmentation thresholds of video text by a set of weighted samples. The set of samples is initialized by applying a classical segmentation algorithm on the first video...
متن کاملParticle Filters, a Quasi-Monte Carlo Solution for Segmentation of Coronaries
In this paper we propose a Particle Filter-based approach for the segmentation of coronary arteries. To this end, successive planes of the vessel are modeled as unknown states of a sequential process. Such states consist of the orientation, position, shape model and appearance (in statistical terms) of the vessel that are recovered in an incremental fashion, using a sequential Bayesian filter (...
متن کاملSequential Monte Carlo Bandits
In this paper we propose a flexible and efficient framework for handling multi-armed bandits, combining sequential Monte Carlo algorithms with hierarchical Bayesian modeling techniques. The framework naturally encompasses restless bandits, contextual bandits, and other bandit variants under a single inferential model. Despite the model’s generality, we propose efficient Monte Carlo algorithms t...
متن کاملSequential Monte Carlo Tracking for Marginal Artery Segmentation on CT Angiography by Multiple Cue Fusion
In this work we formulate vessel segmentation on contrast-enhanced CT angiogram images as a Bayesian tracking problem. To obtain posterior probability estimation of vessel location, we employ sequential Monte Carlo tracking and propose a new vessel segmentation method by fusing multiple cues extracted from CT images. These cues include intensity, vesselness, organ detection, and bridge informat...
