  Title MSER-based Real-Time Text Detection and Tracking Type Conference Article
  Year 2014 Publication 22nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages 3110 - 3115  
  Keywords  
  Abstract We present a hybrid algorithm for detection and tracking of text in natural scenes that goes beyond the fulldetection approaches in terms of time performance optimization.
A state-of-the-art scene text detection module based on Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER) is used to detect text asynchronously, while on a separate thread detected text objects are tracked by MSER propagation. The cooperation of these two modules yields real time video processing at high frame rates even on low-resource devices.

  Title Embedding Document Structure to Bag-of-Words through Pair-wise Stable Key-regions Type Conference Article
  Year 2014 Publication 22nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages 2903 - 2908  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Since the document structure carries valuable discriminative information, plenty of efforts have been made for extracting and understanding document structure among which layout analysis approaches are the most commonly used. In this paper, Distance Transform based MSER (DTMSER) is employed to efficiently extract the document structure as a dendrogram of key-regions which roughly correspond to structural elements such as characters, words and paragraphs. Inspired by the Bag
of Words (BoW) framework, we propose an efficient method for structural document matching by representing the document image as a histogram of key-region pairs encoding structural relationships.
Applied to the scenario of document image retrieval, experimental results demonstrate a remarkable improvement when comparing the proposed method with typical BoW and pyramidal BoW methods.

  Title Impact of Keypoint Detection on Graph-based Characterization of Blood Vessels in Colonoscopy Videos Type Conference Article
  Year 2014 Publication CARE workshop Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages  
  Keywords Colonoscopy; Graph Matching; Biometrics; Vessel; Intersection  
  Abstract We explore the potential of the use of blood vessels as anatomical landmarks for developing image registration methods in colonoscopy images. An unequivocal representation of blood vessels could be used to guide follow-up methods to track lesions over different interventions. We propose a graph-based representation to characterize network structures, such as blood vessels, based on the use of intersections and endpoints. We present a study consisting of the assessment of the minimal performance a keypoint detector should achieve so that the structure can still be recognized. Experimental results prove that, even by achieving a loss of 35% of the keypoints, the descriptive power of the associated graphs to the vessel pattern is still high enough to recognize blood vessels.

  Title A Coarse-to-Fine Word Spotting Approach for Historical Handwritten Documents Based on Graph Embedding and Graph Edit Distance Type Conference Article
  Year 2014 Publication 22nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages 3074 - 3079  
  Keywords word spotting; coarse-to-fine mechamism; graphbased representation; graph embedding; graph edit distance  
  Abstract Effective information retrieval on handwritten document images has always been a challenging task, especially historical ones. In the paper, we propose a coarse-to-fine handwritten word spotting approach based on graph representation. The presented model comprises both the topological and morphological signatures of the handwriting. Skeleton-based graphs with the Shape Context labelled vertexes are established for connected components. Each word image is represented as a sequence of graphs. Aiming at developing a practical and efficient word spotting approach for large-scale historical handwritten documents, a fast and coarse comparison is first applied to prune the regions that are not similar to the query based on the graph embedding methodology. Afterwards, the query and regions of interest are compared by graph edit distance based on the Dynamic Time Warping alignment. The proposed approach is evaluated on a public dataset containing 50 pages of historical marriage license records. The results show that the proposed approach achieves a compromise between efficiency and accuracy.

  Title A Bimodal Crowdsourcing Platform for Demographic Historical Manuscripts Type Conference Article
  Year 2014 Publication Digital Access to Textual Cultural Heritage Conference Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages 103-108  
  Keywords  
  Abstract In this paper we present a crowdsourcing web-based application for extracting information from demographic handwritten document images. The proposed application integrates two points of view: the semantic information for demographic research, and the ground-truthing for document analysis research. Concretely, the application has the contents view, where the information is recorded into forms, and the labeling view, with the word labels for evaluating document analysis techniques. The crowdsourcing architecture allows to accelerate the information extraction (many users can work simultaneously), validate the information, and easily provide feedback to the users. We finally show how the proposed application can be extended to other kind of demographic historical manuscripts.

  Title A Novel Learning-free Word Spotting Approach Based on Graph Representation Type Conference Article

  Volume (down) Issue Pages 207-211  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Effective information retrieval on handwritten document images has always been a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a novel handwritten word spotting approach based on graph representation. The presented model comprises both topological and morphological signatures of handwriting. Skeleton-based graphs with the Shape Context labelled vertexes are established for connected components. Each word image is represented as a sequence of graphs. In order to be robust to the handwriting variations, an exhaustive merging process based on DTW alignment result is introduced in the similarity measure between word images. With respect to the computation complexity, an approximate graph edit distance approach using bipartite matching is employed for graph matching. The experiments on the George Washington dataset and the marriage records from the Barcelona Cathedral dataset demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art structural methods.

  Title EM-Based Layout Analysis Method for Structured Documents Type Conference Article
  Year 2014 Publication 22nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages 315-320  
  Keywords  
  Abstract In this paper we present a method to perform layout analysis in structured documents. We proposed an EM-based algorithm to fit a set of Gaussian mixtures to the different regions according to the logical distribution along the page. After the convergence, we estimate the final shape of the regions according
to the parameters computed for each component of the mixture. We evaluated our method in the task of record detection in a collection of historical structured documents and performed a comparison with other previous works in this task.

  Title Spotting Symbol Using Sparsity over Learned Dictionary of Local Descriptors Type Conference Article
  Year 2014 Publication 11th IAPR International Workshop on Document Analysis and Systems Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages 156-160  
  Keywords  
  Abstract This paper proposes a new approach to spot symbols into graphical documents using sparse representations. More specifically, a dictionary is learned from a training database of local descriptors defined over the documents. Following their sparse representations, interest points sharing similar properties are used to define interest regions. Using an original adaptation of information retrieval techniques, a vector model for interest regions and for a query symbol is built based on its sparsity in a visual vocabulary where the visual words are columns in the learned dictionary. The matching process is performed comparing the similarity between vector models. Evaluation on SESYD datasets demonstrates that our method is promising.
