This paper presents a probabilistic approach for logo detection and localization in natural scene images. Two probability distributions are computed, one considering the features extracted from the key points located inside a region and the second refers to shape geometry defined by the key points. The barycentric co-ordinates are considered to define the shape statistics. The performance of the proposed approach has been reported on two publicly available datasets: BelgaLogos and Flickr Logos27. It is shown that statistically significant improvement is achieved over a recently proposed method.

This paper presents a pronominal anaphora resolution (PAR) approach that makes use of the global discourse knowledge along with other traditional features. So far the features used in finding the referent of an anaphoric pronoun are computed locally. Normally the sentence containing the anaphor and a few sentences immediately before form the local context. In this process, the knowledge base gets updated as more and more of the discourse is processed. Keeping this approach as the core, the present paper explores use of some prior knowledge after examining the entire discourse (whole article). Addition of this processing step improves the PAR's efficiency. This improvement is demonstrated using ICON 2011 Bangla dataset.

In this paper, we describe an approach to distinguish between hand-written text and machine-printed text from annotated machine-printed Bangla Documents images. In applications involving OCR, distinction of machine-printed and hand-written characters is important, so that they can be sent to separate recognition engines. Identification of hand-written parts is useful in deleting those parts and cleaning the document image as well. In this paper a classification system is presented which takes a connected component in the document image and assigns them to two classes namely "machine-printed" and for "hand-written" classes, respectively. The proposed system contains a preprocessing step, which smoothes the object border and finds the Connected Component. Bangla script specific features are extracted from that Connected Component image, and a standard classifier based on SVM generates the final response. Experimental results on a data set show that the proposed approach achieves an overall accuracy of 96.49%.

Extraction and recognition of text present in video has become a very popular research area in the last decade. Generally, text present in video frames is of different size, orientation, style, etc. with complex backgrounds, noise, low resolution and contrast. These factors make the automatic text extraction and recognition in video frames a challenging task. A large number of techniques have been proposed by various researchers in the recent past to address the problem. This paper presents a review of various state-of-the-art techniques proposed towards different stages (e.g. detection, localization, extraction, etc.) of text information processing in video frames. Looking at the growing popularity and the recent developments in the processing of text in video frames, this review imparts details of current trends and potential directions for further research activities to assist researchers.

In the field of information security, the usage of biometrics is growing for user authentication. Automatic signature recognition and verification is one of the biometric techniques, which is only one of several used to verify the identity of individuals. In this paper, a foreground and background based technique is proposed for identification of scripts from bi-lingual (English/Roman and Chinese) off-line signatures. This system will identify whether a claimed signature belongs to the group of English signatures or Chinese signatures. The identification of signatures based on its script is a major contribution for multi-script signature verification. Two background information extraction techniques are used to produce the background components of the signature images. Gradient-based method was used to extract the features of the foreground as well as background components. Zernike Moment feature was also employed on signature samples. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used as the classifier for signature identification in the proposed system. A database of 1120 (640 English+480 Chinese) signature samples were used for training and 560 (320 English+240 Chinese) signature samples were used for testing the proposed system. An encouraging identification accuracy of 97.70% was obtained using gradient feature from the experiment.

This paper deals with recognition of online handwritten Bangla (Bengali) text. Here, at first, we segment cursive words into strokes. A stroke may represent a character or a part of a character. We selected a set of Bangla words written by different groups of people such that they contain all basic characters, all vowel and consonant modifiers and almost all types of possible joining among them. For segmentation of text into strokes, we discovered some rules analyzing different joining patterns of Bangla characters. Combination of online and offline information was used for segmentation. We achieved correct segmentation rate of 97.89% on the dataset. We manually analyzed different strokes to create a ground truth set of distinct stroke classes for result verification and we obtained 85 stroke classes. Directional features were used in SVM for recognition and we achieved correct stroke recognition rate of 97.68%.
