This dissertation investigates the system-centred evaluation of visual information retrieval
from generic photographic collections. The development of visual information retrieval …

Abstract License Plate Recognition (LPR) is mainly regarded as a solved problem. However,
robust solutions able to face real-world scenarios still need to be proposed. Country-specific …

In this paper, we study a method for isolated handwritten or hand-printed character
recognition using dynamic programming for matching the non-linear multi-projection profiles …

Shape descriptors have demonstrated encouraging potential for retrieving images based on
image content, and a number of them have been reported in the literature. Nevertheless …

The paper presents a method for isolated off-line character recognition using radon features.
The key characteristic of the method is to use DTW algorithm to match corresponding pairs …

This book emphasizes various image shape feature extraction methods which are
necessary for image shape recognition and classification. Focussing on a shape feature …

In this paper, we propose a new method to adapt the resolution of images to the limited
display resolution of mobile devices. We use the seam carving technique to identify and …

The visualization of high resolution video on small mobile devices is still a great challenge
today. Most critical are the limited display resolution and different aspect ratios of handheld …

In this paper, we introduce our new visualization service which presents web pages and
images on arbitrary devices with differing display resolutions. We analyze the layout of a …

This paper addresses the problem of detecting the common neural tube defect of spina
bifida by a computer aided detection (CAD) system. We propose a method which extracts …
