Document image binarization is one of the critical initial steps for document analysis and
understanding. Previous work mostly focused on exploiting hand-crafted features to build …

In this paper, we describe an approach to extract text from broadcast videos. Candidate
blocks are detected based on edge extraction results. Corners and geometrical features are …

Document image binarization is still an active research area as shows the number of
binarization techniques proposed since many decades. The binarization of degraded …

We present a novel binarization method that is especially effective on historical documents
with the following characteristics:(a) the documents contain free-form cursive handwritten …

We present a Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) system based on different similarity
metrics. The metrics used are string-based metrics and the Semantic Edit Distance Metric …

The state-of-arts global thresholding techniques are fast and efficient to convert the gray
scale document image into a binary image. However, they are unsuitable for complex and …

Cameras in handheld devices, ie, mobile phones, have become the fastest and the easiest
method for capturing document images. However, document images captured with …

In this paper, we describe our approach to extract salient events such as birth and death
records from historical French parish documents that contain free-form handwritten text. The …
