Automatic image annotation, structuring of images, content-based information indexing and retrieval are based on the textual data present in those images. Text extraction from images is an extremely difficult and challenging job due to the variations in the text such as text scripts, style, font, size, color, alignment and orientation; and due to extrinsic factors such as low image contrast (te...

In this paper, we present a texture-based text detection scheme for detecting text in natural scene images. This is a preliminary work towards a complete system of text detection, localization and recognition in order to help visually impaired persons. We have employed spatial histograms computed from gray-level co-occurrence matrices for texture coding and three classifiers have been evaluated...

LOCtarget is a web server and database that predicts and annotates sub-cellular localization for structural genomics targets; LOCnet is one of the methods used in LOCtarget that can predict sub-cellular localization for all eukaryotic and prokaryotic proteins. Targets are taken from the central registration database for structural genomics, namely, TargetDB. LOCtarget predicts localization thro...

I present a replication of two papers: “Real-time Scene Text Localization and Recognition” [10] and “Text Localization in Real-world Images using Efficiently Pruned Exhaustive Search” [9]. The combination of these two papers by Neumann et. al. present a text localization system for scene images. [10] presents a method for generating potential character regions in the image, and [9] presents a m...

in wireless sensor networks (wsns), localization algorithms could be range-based or range-free. the approximate point in triangle (apit) is a range-free approach. we propose modification of the apit algorithm and refer as modified-apit. we select suitable triangles with appropriate distance between anchors to reduce pit test errors (edge effect and non-uniform placement of neighbours) in apit a...

background: bilateral neck exploration is the gold standard for parathyroid adenoma localization in primary hyperparathyroidism. but surgeons do not have adequate experience for accurate surgical exploration and new methods are developed for surgery like unilateral exploration and minimally invasive surgery, thus, preoperative localization could reduces time and stress in surgical performance. ...

Wireless sensor networks attracting a great deal of research interest. Accurate localization of sensor nodes is a strong requirement in a wide area of applications. In recent years, several techniques have been proposed for localization in wireless sensor networks. In this paper we present a localization scheme with using only one mobile anchor station and received signal strength indicator tec...

Semantic annotation of localization and identification relations falls under an immense project of automatic annotation of relations embodied in the platform EXCOM. While localization and identification relations have been defined by Applicative and Cognitive Grammar, they are described here from the perspective of language processing, based on contextual exploration method, with the goal to de...

glioblastoma is the most common and the most lethal primary brain cancer. this malignancy is highly locally invasive, rarely metastatic and resistant to current therapies. little is known about the distinct molecular biology of glioblastoma multiforme (gbm) in terms of initiation and progression. so far, several molecular mechanisms have been suggested to implicate in gbm development. homeodoma...
