Textproposals: a text-specific selective search algorithm for word spotting in the wild

L Gómez, D Karatzas - Pattern recognition, 2017 - Elsevier
Motivated by the success of powerful while expensive techniques to recognize words in a
holistic way (Goel et al., 2013; Almazán et al., 2014; Jaderberg et al., 2016) object proposals …

Sequential optimization for efficient high-quality object proposal generation

Z Zhang, Y Liu, X Chen, Y Zhu… - IEEE transactions on …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We are motivated by the need for a generic object proposal generation algorithm which
achieves good balance between object detection recall, proposal localization quality and …

Learning to combine mid-level cues for object proposal generation

T Lee, S Fidler, S Dickinson - Proceedings of the IEEE …, 2015 - cv-foundation.org
In recent years, region proposals have replaced sliding windows in support of object

Saliency and KAZE features assisted object segmentation

P Mukherjee, B Lall - Image and Vision Computing, 2017 - Elsevier
In this paper, we propose an unsupervised salient object segmentation approach using
saliency and object features. In the proposed method, we utilize occlusion boundaries to …

The middle child problem: Revisiting parametric min-cut and seeds for object proposals

A Humayun, F Li, JM Rehg - Proceedings of the IEEE …, 2015 - openaccess.thecvf.com
Object proposals have recently fueled the progress in detection performance. These
proposals aim to provide category-agnostic localizations for all objects in an image. One …

Object proposal generation using two-stage cascade SVMs

Z Zhang, PHS Torr - IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Object proposal algorithms have shown great promise as a first step for object recognition
and detection. Good object proposal generation algorithms require high object detection …

Contour box: Rejecting object proposals without explicit closed contours

C Lu, S Liu, J Jia, CK Tang - Proceedings of the IEEE …, 2015 - openaccess.thecvf.com
Closed contour is an important objectness indicator. We propose a new measure subject to
the completeness and tightness constraints, where the optimized closed contour should be …

Adobe boxes: Locating object proposals using object adobes

Z Fang, Z Cao, Y **ao, L Zhu… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Despite the previous efforts of object proposals, the detection rates of the existing
approaches are still not satisfactory enough. To address this, we propose Adobe Boxes to …
