Text detection in natural scene images is an important prerequisite for many content-based
image analysis tasks. In this paper, we propose an accurate and robust method for detecting …

Reading is a ubiquitous activity that many people even perform in transit, such as while on
the bus or while walking. Tracking reading enables us to gain more insights about expertise …

Text detection in videos is challenging due to low resolution and complex background of
videos. Besides, an arbitrary orientation of scene text lines in video makes the problem more …

We present a two stage framework for automatic video text removal to detect and remove
embedded video texts and fill-in their remaining regions by appropriate data. In the video …

Textual information in images and video frames constitutes a valuable source of high-level
semantics for multimedia indexing and retrieval systems. Text detection is the most crucial …

Texts in natural scenes carry rich semantic information, which can be used to assist a wide
range of applications, such as object recognition, image/video retrieval, mapping/navigation …

Text contained in scene images provides the semantic context of the images. For that
reason, robust extraction of text regions is essential for successful scene text understanding …

We present an athlete identification module forming part of a system for the personalization
of sport video broadcasts. The aim of this module is the localization of athletes in the scene …

This paper presents a method for multilingual artificial text detection and extraction from still
images. The proposed detection scheme relies on a cascade of spatial transforms followed …

The text appears in the images is important for fully understanding the images. The number
of digital images and digital videos has increased tremendously. Although there are many …
