In this paper, we propose a novel methodology for text detection in indoor/outdoor scene images. The proposed methodology is based on an efficient binarization and enhancement technique followed by a suitable connected component analysis procedure. Image binarization successfully process indoor/ outdoor scene images having shadows, non-uniform illumination, low contrast and large signal-depende...

p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; direction: rtl; line-height: 120%; text-align: right; }a:link { color: rgb(0, 0, 255); } In this paper, the reported experimental data related to electrical transport properties in bulk ZnO, ZnMgO/ZnO and ZnMgO/ZnO/ZnMgO single and double heterostructures were analyzed quantitavely and the most important scattering parameters on controlling electron concentratio...

In this paper, a human evaluation of a Catalan-Spanish Ngram-based statistical machine translation system is used to develop specific techniques based on the use of grammatical categories, lexical categorisation and text processing, for the enhancement of the final translation. The system is successfully improved when testing with ad hoc and general corpora, as it is shown in the final automati...

In this paper a histogram enhancement technique is presented in order to improve the robustness of text-independent speaker verification systems. The technique transforms the features extracted from speech such that the contrast of their histogram is enhanced. Experiments showed significant improvements for this technique compared to standard techniques both in clean testing environments, and i...

[graph: see text] 8-Hydroxyquinoline benzoates were developed as a new set of 8-HQ derivatives for highly sensitive fluorescent chemosensors for transition metal ions. A prominent fluorescence enhancement was found in the presence of transition metal ions such as Hg2+ and Cu2+, and this was suggested to result from the suppression of radiationless transitions from the npi state in the chemosens...

the current work investigates a developed automatic Arabic text summarization model. In this model, a technique of word root clustering is used as the major activity. Unlike the previously presented systems of Arabic text summarization in the extract based design field, the current model adopts cluster weight of word roots instead of the word weight itself. The model is thoroughly illustrated t...

Text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis systems have grown popularity due to their diverse practical usability. While most of the technologies developed aims to meet requirements in laboratory environment, the practical appliance is not limited to a specific environment. This work aims towards improving intelligibility of synthesized speech to make it deployable in realism. Based on the comparison of Lo...

Historically significant documents are often discovered with defects that make them difficult to read and analyze. This fact is particularly troublesome if the defects prevent software from performing an automated analysis. Image enhancement methods are used to remove or minimize document defects, improve software performance, and generally make images more legible. We describe an automated, im...

Speech is most effective and natural medium to exchange the information among people. The speech system also goes under the process of some software tools to present the information in effective way. This kind of effectiveness is defined as the translation of the information to text or some other speech form. In speech communication, the speech signal is always accompanied by some noise. Theref...
