Authentication plays a very important role to manage security. In the modern era, it is one, in
all the priorities. With the appearance of technology, the interaction with machines is turning …

Salient image regions permit non-uniform allocation of computational resources. The
selection of a commensurate set of salient regions is often a step taken in the initial stages of …

This paper presents a novel approach to defining document image structural similarity for
the applications of classification and retrieval. We first build a codebook of SURF descriptors …

E-discovery refers generally to the process by which one party (for example, the plaintiff) is
entitled to" discover" evidence in the form of" electronically stored information" that is held by …

Signature and logo as a query are important for content-based document image retrieval
from a scanned document repository. This paper deals with signature and logo detection …

Graphics detection and recognition are fundamental research problems in document image
analysis and retrieval. As one of the most pervasive graphical elements in business and …

In this paper, we present a method for the retrieval of document images with chosen layout
characteristics. The proposed method is based on statistics of patch-codewords over …

Breath sounds have been shown as a potential biometric in personal identification and
verification. In this article, we show that by combining signals captured by motion sensors on …

We apply scale space filtering to thinning of binary sketch images by introducing a
framework for making thinning algorithms robust against noise. Our framework derives …

In the paper we present an approach to the automatic segmentation of interesting elements
from paper documents ie stamps, logos, printed text blocks, signatures, and tables …
