Characterness An Indicator of Text in the Wild

Characterness: An Indicator of Text in the Wild Abstract: Text in an image provides vital information for interpreting its contents, and text in a scene can aid a variety of tasks from navigation to obstacle avoidance and odometry. Despite its value, however, detecting general text in images remains a challenging research problem. Motivated by the […]


BRINT Binary Rotation Invariant and Noise Tolerant Texture Classification

BRINT: Binary Rotation Invariant and Noise Tolerant Texture Classification Abstract: In this paper, we propose a simple, efficient, yet robust multiresolution approach to texture classification-binary rotation invariant and noise tolerant (BRINT). The proposed approach is very fast to build, very compact while remaining robust to illumination variations, rotation changes, and noise. We develop a novel […]
