Many images, especially those used for page design on Web pages, as well as videos
contain visible text. If these text occurrences could be detected, segmented, and recognized …

In this demonstration, we present a unified framework for semantic shot classification in
sports videos. Unlike previous approaches, which focus on clustering by aggregating shots …

Text detection is fundamental to video information retrieval and indexing. Existing methods
cannot handle well those texts with different contrast or embedded in a complex …

This paper presents a novel color texture-based method for object detection in images. To
demonstrate our technique, a vehicle license plate (LP) localization system is developed. A …

The continuous development of object detection algorithms is ushering in the need for
evaluation tools to quantify algorithm performance. In this paper a set of seven metrics are …

We present a video caption detection and recognition system based on a fuzzy-clustering
neural network (FCNN) classifier. Using a novel caption-transition detection scheme we …

In some embodiments, the invention includes a method for locating text in digital images.
The method includes scaling a digital image into images of multiple resolutions and …

We propose a multiscale texture-based method using local energy analysis for hybrid
Chinese/English text detection in images and video frames. Local energy analysis has been …

Document analysis and graphics recognition algorithms are normally applied to the
processing of images of 2D documents scanned when flattened against a planar surface …

Text superimposed on the video frames provides supplemental but important information for
video indexing and retrieval. Many efforts have been made for videotext detection and …
