– A SIFT-based Vehicle Manufacturer and Model Recognition (VMMR) method was utilized to tackle the problem of vehicle security. Distinctive parts of the vehicle frontal view such as the headlights, grill and logo area were segmented. A series of experiments were conducted in a variety of outdoor conditions, where a query image that was rotated, scaled, shifted or set in different lighting condi...

Storefront brand image (logo) recognition has many useful applications. Various methods have been proposed using local and global feature matching; however, logo recognition continues to be a challenging area; unlike nature scene images, which are rich in texture details, brand images often lack texture variation, and therefore provide fewer feature points for matching. In addition, reference a...

The procedure of detection and recognition for separated part logos in document images is a major problem in logo detection and recognition algorithms that previously have presented. In this paper, a novel logo detection and recognition framework based on spatial and structural features especially for separated part logos application is proposed. To overcome this problem, we consider some speci...

In the paper, a new recognition method for logos imaged by mobile phone cameras is presented which can be incorporated with mobile phone services for use in enterprise identification, corporate website access, traffic sign reading, security check, content awareness, and the related applications. The main challenge in applying the logo recognition for mobile phone applications is the inevitable ...

Storefront brand image (logo) recognition has many useful applications such as location recognition and advertisement. Various methods have been proposed using local and global feature matching. However, it continues to be a challenging area; unlike nature scene images, which are rich in texture details, brand images often lack texture variation, and therefore provide fewer feature points for m...

In most countries, vehicle license plates contain both alphanumeric characters and the state/province of origin. State/province recognition of the license plate provides additional information to the traffic management agency and guidance information, aiding in character segmentation and in recognition. Existing methods use the character string of the state name only. Unfortunately, in some cou...

OBJECTIVES To assess exposure to marketing of unhealthy food products and its relation to food related behavior and BMI in children aged 3-13, from different socioeconomic backgrounds in a south Indian town. METHODS Child-parent pairs (n=306) were recruited at pediatric clinics. Exposure to food marketing was assessed by a digital logo recognition test. Children matched 18 logos of unhealthy ...
