Signatures continue to be an important biometric because they remain widely used as a means of personal verification and therefore an automatic verification system is needed. Manual signature-based authentication of a large number of documents is a difficult and time consuming task. Consequently for many years, in the field of protected communication and financial applications, we have observed an explosive growth in biometric personal authentication systems that are closely connected with measurable unique physical characteristics (e.g. hand geometry, iris scan, finger prints or DNA) or behavioural features. Substantial research has been undertaken in the field of signature verification involving English signatures, but to the best of our knowledge, very few works have considered non-English signatures such as Chinese, Japanese, Arabic etc. In order to convey the state-of-the-art in the field to researchers, in this paper we present a survey of non-English and non-Latin signature verification systems.

This paper proposes a novel approach to single image super-resolution. First, an image up-sampling scheme is proposed which takes the advantages of both bilateral filtering and mean shift image segmentation. Then we use a shock filter to enhance strong edges in the initial up-sampling result and obtain an intermediate high-resolution image. Finally, we enforce a reconstruction constraint on the high-resolution image so that fine details can be inferred by back projection. Since strong edges in the intermediate result are enhanced, ringing artifacts can be suppressed in the back projection step. We compare our algorithm with several state-of-the-art image super-resolution algorithms. Qualitative and quantitative experimental results demonstrate that our approach performs the best.

Video stylization transfers a source video into an artistic version while maintaining temporal coherence between adjacent frames. In this paper, we formulate the unsupervised example-based video stylization with Markov random field model. In our algorithm, we implement an improved optical flow algorithm to maintain temporal coherence while improve the accuracy of estimation along motion boundaries. We also extend our algorithm to the application of video personalization, in which human faces keep clear and distinguishable. A series of techniques are fused in video personalization, including face detection and alignment, motion flow, skin detection, and illumination blending. Given a source video and a style template image, our algorithm produces the stylized and/or personalized video(s) automatically. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm performs excellently in both video stylization and personalization. Copyright 2011 ACM.

A major preprocessing step in a multi-script OCR is to identify the script type of the test document image. The published papers on script identification usually assume that the test image is in correct i.e. 0° orientation. But by mistake a document may be fed to the system in wrong orientation, say at an angle of nearly 180° or ±90°. In this method we propose a script identification method that works for unknown orientation for all 11 official Indian scripts. Here, we first find the skew and counter-rotate the document by the skew angle. This will lead to correct (0°) or upside down (180°) orientation. Then script identification is done by a multi-stage tree classifier using features invariant to 0°/180° orientation. Next we go to find the orientation of the image by a two class classifier for each script. Performance of the proposed method has been tested on a variety of documents and promising results have been obtained.
