This paper presents an automatic system for steel quality assessment, by measuring textural properties of carbide distributions. In current steel inspection, specially etched and p...
A method is proposed to detect multi-part man-made or natural objects in complex images. It consists in first extracting simple curves and straight lines from the edge map. Then,...
Creating uniform lighting for archival-quality document acquisition remains a non-trivial problem. We propose a novel method for automatic photometric correction of nonplanar docu...
