Sparse Template-Based variational Image Segmentation
We introduce a variational approach to image segmentation based on sparse coverings of image domains by shape templates. The objective function combines a data term that achieves robustness by tolerating overlapping templates with a regularizer enforcing sparsity. A suitable convex relaxation leads to the variational approach that is amenable to large-scale convex programming. Our approach take...
متن کاملA Study of Touching Characters in Degraded Gurmukhi Text
Character segmentation is an important preprocessing step for text recognition. In degraded documents, existence of touching characters decreases recognition rate drastically, for any optical character recognition (OCR) system. In this paper a study of touching Gurmukhi characters is carried out and these characters have been divided into various categories after a careful analysis. Structural ...
متن کاملShape Priors and Online Appearance Learning for Variational Segmentation and Object Recognition in Static Scenes
We present an integrated two-level approach to computationally analyzing image sequences of static scenes by variational segmentation. At the top level, estimated models of object appearance and background are probabilistically fused to obtain an a-posteriori probability for the occupancy of each pixel. The data-association strategy handles object occlusions explicitly. At the lower level, obje...
متن کاملAdaptive shape prior in graph cut image segmentation
This paper presents a novel method to apply shape priors adaptively in graph cut image segmentation. By incorporating shape priors adaptively, we provide a flexible way to impose the shape priors selectively at pixels where image labels are difficult to determine during the graph cut segmentation. This is in contrast to the use of shape priors indiscriminatively at all pixels in existing image ...
متن کاملHandwritten Character Recognition using Modified Gradient Descent Technique of Neural Networks and Representation of Conjugate Descent for Training Patterns
The purpose of this study is to analyze the performance of Back propagation algorithm with changing training patterns and the second momentum term in feed forward neural networks. This analysis is conducted on 250 different words of three small letters from the English alphabet. These words are presented to two vertical segmentation programs which are designed in MATLAB and based on portions (1...
