—A novel binarization method for courtesy amount recognition of color Chinese checks is proposed in this paper. It includes two steps: background removal and seal removal. In the...
This paper proposes a search method for detecting known objects quickly in 3D environments with a pan-tilt-zoom camera. In our previous work, we proposed an algorithm named Active...
We develop a set of new motion estimation (ME) algorithms based mainly on Unsymmetric-Cross Multi-Hexagon-Grid Search (UMH). The original algorithms are improved by applying the S...
We describe and evaluate the performance of a parallel search engine that is able to cope efficiently with concurrent read/write operations. Read operations come in the usual form ...
