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.

The conversion of large collections of historical typewritten documents into digital libraries and archives is met with significant challenges that standard recognition techniques cannot address. The condition and individual nature of characters in these degraded documents necessitate a departure from existing thresholding approaches. This paper presents a flexible approach designed to overcome the difficulties presented by such documents by flexibly analysing each individual character and cautiously repairing it. The main sources of OCR errors are successfully addressed and reliable corrective actions are taken

There is an established need for objective evaluation of layout analysis methods, in realistic circumstances. This paper describes the page segmentation competition (modus operandi, dataset and evaluation criteria) held in the context of ICDAR2005 and presents the results of the evaluation of four candidate methods. The main objective of the competition was to compare the performance of such methods using scanned documents from commonly-occurring publications. The results indicate that although methods seem to be maturing, there is still a considerable need to develop robust methods that deal with everyday documents.

State Key Lab for Image Processing and Intelligent ControlHuazhong University of Science and Technology Wuhan 430074 China major limitation for deep space communication is the limited bandwidths available. The downlink rate using X-band with an L2 halo orbit is estimated to be of only 5.35 GB/d. However the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) will produce about 600 GB/d. Clearly the volume of data to downlink must be reduced by at least a factor of 100. One of the resolutions is to encode the data using very low bit rate image compression techniques. An very low bit rate image compression method based on region of interest(ROI) has been proposed for deep space image. The conventional image compression algorithms which encode the original data without any data analysis can maintain very good details and haven't high compression rate while the modern image compressions with semantic organization can have high compression rate even to be hundred and can't maintain too much details. The algorithms based on region of interest inheriting from the two previews algorithms have good semantic features and high fidelity and is therefore suitable for applications at a low bit rate. The proposed method extracts the region of interest by texture analysis after wavelet transform and gains optimal local quality with bit rate control. The Result shows that our method can maintain more details in ROI than general image compression algorithm(SPIHT) under the condition of sacrificing the quality of other uninterested areas

We study the problem of representing images within a multimedia Database Management System (DBMS), in order to support fast retrieval operations without compromising storage efficiency. To achieve this goal, we propose new image coding techniques which combine a wavelet representation, embedded coding of the wavelet coefficients, and segmentation of image-domain regions in the wavelet domain. A bitstream is generated in which each image region is encoded independently of other regions, without having to explicitly store information describing the regions. Simulation results show that our proposed algorithms achieve coding performance which compares favorably, both perceptually and objectively, to that achieved using state-of-the-art image/video coding techniques while additionally providing region-based support.

Individual cues from visual modules are fallible and often ambiguous. As a result, only integrated vision systems can be expected to give a reliable performance in practice. The design of such systems is challenging since each vision module works under different and possibly conflicting sets of assumptions. We have proposed and implemented a multiresolution system which integrates perceptual grouping, segmentation, stereo, shape from shading, and line labelling modules. The output of the integrated system is shown to be relatively insensitive to the constraints imposed by the individual modules.< >
