This paper presents the results of the handwriting segmentation contest that was organized in the context of ICDAR2007. The aim of this contest was to use well established evaluation practices and procedures in order to record recent advances in off-line handwriting segmentation. Two benchmarking datasets (one for text line and one for word segmentation) were used in a common evaluation platform in order to test and compare all submitted algorithms for handwritten document segmentation in realistic circumstances. The results of the evaluation of five algorithms submitted by participants as well as of two state-of-the-art algorithms are presented. The performance evaluation method is based on counting the number of matches between the text lines or words detected by the algorithms and the text line or words of the ground truth.

In this paper, three dimensions kinematics andkinetics simulation arc discussed for hardware realization ofa physical biped walking-chair robot. The direct and inverseclose-form kinematics solution of the biped walking-chairis deduced. Several gaits are realized with thekinematics solution, including walking straight on levelfloor, going up stair, squatting down and standing up. ZeroMoment Point(ZMP) equation is analyzed considering themovement of the crew. The simulated biped walking-chairrobot is used for mechanical design, gaits development andvalidation before they are tested on real robot.

Efficient reconfigurable VLSI architecture for 1-D 5/3 and 9/7 wavelet transforms adopted in JPEG2000 proposal, based on lifting scheme is proposed. The embedded decimation technique based on fold and time multiplexing, as well as embedded boundary data extension technique, is adopted to optimize the design of the architecture. These reduce significantly the required numbers of the multipliers, adders and registers, as well as the amount of accessing external memory, and lead to decrease efficiently the hardware cost and power consumption of the design. The architecture is designed to generate an output per clock cycle, and the detailed component and the approximation of the input signal are available alternately. Experimental simulation and comparison results are presented, which demonstrate that the proposed architecture has lower hardware complexity, thus it is adapted for embedded applications. The presented architecture is simple, regular and scalable, and well suited for VLSI implementation.

The detection of counterfeit in printed documents is currently based mainly on built-in security features or on human expertise. We propose a classification system that supports non-expert users to distinguish original documents from PC-made forgeries by analyzing the printing technique used. Each letter in a document is classified using a support vector machine that has been trained to distinguish laser from inkjet printouts. A color-coded visualization helps the user to interpret the per-letter classification results

Most methods for document image retrieval rely solely on text information to find similar documents. This paper describes a way to use layout information for document image retrieval instead. A new class of distance measures is introduced for documents with Manhattan layouts, based on a two-step procedure: First, the distances between the blocks of two layouts are calculated. Then, the blocks of one layout are assigned to the blocks of the other layout in a matching step. Different block distances and matching methods are compared and evaluated using the publicly available MARG database. On this dataset, the layout type can be determined successfully in 92.6% of the cases using the best distance measure in a nearest neighbor classifier. The experiments show that the best distance measure for this task is the overlapping area combined with the Manhattan distance of the corner points as block distance together with the minimum weight edge cover matching

Efficient visualization of large volumetric data is a challenge for imageprocessing community. In this paper, we present a novel volume rendering algorithm based on the concept of fractal. It consists of dividing the volumetric data set into sub-blocks, calculating the 3D fractal coefficients of each sub-block, projecting them to 2D image plane, and generating sub-images through 2D inverse fractal transform. The final rendered image is then obtained by simply summing the sub-images. Compared to the conventional ray casting technique, the proposed fractal volume rendering (FVR) method presents the advantage of reducing time complexity as well as memory complexity while maintaining good rendering quality. Moreover, the progressive refinement is supported owing to the iterative convergent process of sub-image generation

This paper presents a new representation and evaluation procedure of page segmentation algorithms and analyzes six widely-used layout analysis algorithms using the procedure. The method permits a detailed analysis of the behavior of page segmentation algorithms in terms of over- and undersegmentation at different layout levels, as well as determination of the geometric accuracy of the segmentation. The representation of document layouts relies on labeling each pixel according to its function in the overall segmentation, permitting pixel-accurate representation of layout information of arbitrary layouts and allowing background pixels to be classified as "don't care". Our representations can be encoded easily in standard color image formats like PNG, permitting easy interchange of segmentation results and ground truth
