Handwriting recognition and OCR systems need to cope with a wide variety of writing styles and fonts, many of them possibly not previously encountered during training. This paper d...
When scanning documents with a large number of pages such as books, it is often feasible to provide a minimal number of training samples to personalize the system to compensate fo...
Abstract. Due to improvements in image acquisition and storage technology, terabyte-sized databases of images are nowadays common. This abundance of data leads us to two basic prob...
We present an iterative Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for computing reference priors and minimax risk for general parametric families. Our approach uses MCMC techniques based...
We present a new incremental algorithm for constructing the union of n triangles in the plane. In our experiments, the new algorithm, which we call the Disjoint-Cover (DC) algorit...
