In this paper we propose a method for segmenting characters in multispectral images of ancient documents. Due to the low quality of the document images the main idea of our study is to combine the multispectral behavior and contextual spatial information. Therefore we utilize a Markov Random Field model using the spectral information of the images and stroke properties to include spatial dependencies of the characters. The whole process is parameter free since we calculate the stroke properties and the Gaussian parameters for the imaging model automatically. The study shows the effectiveness of using multispectral data for a computer aided analysis of ancient text documents. We compare the results of the proposed segmentation method to traditional methods based on color images as well as gray level images.

with the characteristics of precision edge and closed contour, watershed segmentation algorithm is used widely in image segmentation. However, over-segmentation always occurs when it is applied to ultrasound images associated with speckle noise. In this paper, an improved watershed segmentation scheme is proposed based on comprehensive consideration of gray scale information, edge information and the relationship between neighboring regions of ultrasound images. A novel criteria deciding the relationship between neighboring regions was defined, and edge information was also added to the merging guidelines. Similar region merging was then applied to the initial segmentation results. The proposed scheme was tested using representative ultrasound image. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can produce accurate contours and overcome the over-segmentation phenomenon availably.

Curve matching is one of key issues in computer vision, image analysis and patternrecognition. Based on discrete V-transform, the distance is calculated between curves using the descriptor of V-system to find the matching curves, and then the matching parameters are evaluated in this article. The new approach can find efficiently the rough location of a short extracted image curve in a long reference curve. Different from the existing approaches, it needn't to extract feature points. Extensive tests show that it is efficient.
