Given the ubiquity of handwritten documents in human transactions, Optical Character
Recognition (OCR) of documents have invaluable practical worth. Optical character …

Interest point detection is one of the most fundamental and critical problems in computer
vision and image processing. In this paper, we carry out a comprehensive review on image …

There are many applications of the handwritten character recognition (HCR) approach still
exist. Reading postal addresses in various states contains different languages in any union …

Now in its fifth edition, John C. Russ's monumental image processing reference is an even
more complete, modern, and hands-on tool than ever before. The Image Processing …

This paper describes a new approach to low level image processing; in particular, edge and
corner detection and structure preserving noise reduction. Non-linear filtering is used to …

The repeatability and efficiency of a corner detector determines how likely it is to be useful in
a real-world application. The repeatability is important because the same scene viewed from …

In this survey, we give an overview of invariant interest point detectors, how they evolved
over time, how they work, and what their respective strengths and weaknesses are. We …

Research and development of OCR systems are considered from a historical point of view.
The historical development of commercial systems is included. Both template matching and …

A parallel algorithm is presented for detecting dominant points on a digital closed curve. The
procedure requires no input parameter and remains reliable even when features of multiple …

Digital geometry is about deriving geometric information from digital pictures. The field
emerged from its mathematical roots some forty-years ago through work in computer-based …
