This article describes how robust image processing application rely heavily on image descriptors extracted. Limited work is carried out in adopting probabilistic finite state automata (PFSA) models for image processing. A finite state automata for image processing (FSAFIP) method is presented...

Vast reserves of information are found in ancient texts, scripts, stone tablets etc. However due to difficulty in creating new physical copies of such texts, knowledge to be obtained from them is limited to those few who have access to such resources. With the advent of Optical Character...

In this paper, a line parameter based approach is presented to identify the handwritten scripts written in eight popular scripts. Since Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engines are usually script-dependent, automatic text recognition in multi-script environment requires a pre-processing...

Optical character recognition is an effective way for information input of paper media and skew detection of document images is a key stage of it. An algorithm for skew detection employing hierarchical projection is proposed in this paper. Projection histograms at various directions in a given...

The article describes the collection of the dataset of raw images of digital energy meters display, text detection and recognition of seven segment numerals from collected samples that may be helpful in reducing the cost of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). The presented dataset has...

In this paper, the classification power of the eigenvalues of six graph-associated matrices is investigated. Each matrix contains a certain type of geometric/ spatial information, which may be important for the classification process. The performances of the different feature types is evaluated...
