A new method for noise reduction using spatiotemporal smoothing is presented in this paper. The method is developed especially for reducing the noise that arises when acquiring vi...
Detection of lines in noisy image is not easy. When using Hough transform, multiple false peaks may be generated from collinear noisy edge points, which in turn may create false l...

In this paper we present a novel method to estimate curvature of iso grey-level surfaces in grey-value images. Our method succeeds where isophote curvature fails. There is neither...

Given the large number and complexity of Chinese characters, pattern matching based on structural decomposition and analysis is believed to be necessary and essential to off-line ...
