A growing demand for natural-scene text detection has been witnessed by the computer vision community since text information plays a significant role in scene understanding and image indexing. Deep neural networks are being used due to their strong capabilities of pixel-wise classification or word localization, similar to being used in common vision problems. In this paper, we present a novel t...

Text data present in images and video contain useful information for automatic annotation, indexing, and structuring of images. Extraction of this information involves detection, localization, tracking, extraction, enhancement, and recognition of the text from a given image. However, variations of text due to differences in size, style, orientation, and alignment, as well as low image contrast ...

The field of molecular biology is growing at an astounding rate and research findings are being deposited into public databases, such as Swiss-Prot. Many of the over 200,000 protein entries in Swiss-Prot 49.1 lack annotations such as subcellular localization or function, but the vast majority have references to journal abstracts describing related research. These abstracts represent a huge amou...

Text Detection and recognition is a one of the important aspect of image processing. This paper analyzes and compares the methods to handle this task. It summarizes the fundamental problems and enumerates factors that need consideration when addressing these problems. Existing techniques are categorized as either stepwise or integrated and sub-problems are highlighted including digit localizati...

Recently presented protein sequence classification models can identify relevant regions of the sequence. This observation has many potential applications to detecting functional regions of proteins. However, identifying such sequence regions automatically is difficult in practice, as relatively few types of information have enough annotated sequences to perform this analysis. Our approach addre...

hydatid cyst locates in the liver (70%), lungs (25%) and rarely in other body tissues. cases with gluteal muscle localized hydatid cyst are rarely seen in literature. in this case report, a woman with hydatid cyst that was located in gluteal muscle was discussed. after the patient had been diagnosed, complete surgical excision was performed with the patient. albendazole treatment was applied in...

In this paper we propose a robust approach for text extraction and recognition from video clips which is called Neuro-Fuzzy system for Arabic Video OCR. In Arabic video text recognition, a number of noise components provide the text relatively more complicated to separate from the background. Further, the characters can be moving or presented in a diversity of colors, sizes and fonts that are n...

We propose two texture-based approaches, one involving Gabor filters and the other employing log-polar wavelets, for separating text from non-text elements in a document image. Both the proposed algorithms compute local energy at some information-rich points, which are marked by Harris’ corner detector. The advantage of this approach is that the algorithm calculates the local energy at selected...
