The Shot Boundary Detection (SBD) is an early step for most of the video applications involving understanding, indexing, characterization, or categorization of video. The SBD is temporal video segmentation and it has been an active topic of research in the area of content based video analysis. The research efforts have resulted in a variety of algorithms. The major methods that have been used f...

Traffic conditions in Indian urban and sub urban roads are in many ways not ideal for driving. This is due to faded and unmaintained lane markings. Therefore driving sometimes becomes difficult. Due to inappropriate markings of the roads, it is difficult to track the lane marking using conventional lane marking algorithms. Therefore the issue of Lane tracking with road boundary detection and ot...

Automated retinal image analysis has been emerging as an important diagnostic tool for early detection of eye-related diseases such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. In this paper, we have presented a robust methodology for optic disc detection and boundary segmentation, which can be seen as the preliminary step in the development of a computer-assisted diagnostic system for glaucoma in ret...

In texture segregation, an example of scene segmentation, we can discern two different processes: texture boundary detection and subsequent surface segregation [Lamme, V. A. F., Rodriguez-Rodriguez, V., & Spekreijse, H. Separate processing dynamics for texture elements, boundaries and surfaces in primary visual cortex of the macaque monkey. Cerebral Cortex, 9, 406-413, 1999]. Neural correlates ...

This paper presents a sample-based phone boundary detection algorithm which can improve the accuracy of phone boundary labeling in speech signal. In the conventional phone labeling method adopted the frame-based approach, some acoustic features, like MFCCs, are used. And, the statistical approaches are employed to find the phone boundary based on these frame-based features. The HMM-based forced...
