The paper presents three novel features for handwritten data based identity recognition. A novel framework for combining the features for identification is presented. The framework combines the features in kernel space in MKL based framework. The application of features individually and in combination is presented for writer recognition and signature verification. The writer recognition results have...
In this paper, we address the problem of unsupervised learning of usual patterns of activities in an area under surveillance and detecting deviant patterns. We use video epitomes for segmenting foreground objects from background and obtain an approximate shape, trajectory and temporal information in the form of space-time patches. We apply pLSA for finding correlations among these patches to learn...
We propose a novel framework for object detection and localization in images containing appreciable clutter and occlusions. The problem is cast in a statistical hypothesis testing framework. The image under test is converted into a set of local features using affine invariant local region detectors, described using the popular SIFT descriptor. Due to clutter and occlusions, this set is expected to...
We present a classifier unifying local features based representation and subspace based learning. We also propose a novel method to merge kernel eigen spaces (KES) in feature space. Subspace methods have traditionally been used with the full appearance of the image. Recently local features based bag-of-features (BoF) representation has performed impressively on classification tasks. We use KES with...
In this paper we address the issue of enhancement in the quality of scanned images of old manuscripts. Small portions of the text in these manuscripts have degraded with time and are not readable. We propose a segmentation based histogram matching scheme for enhancing these degraded text regions. To automatically identify the degraded text we use a matched wavelet based text extraction algorithm followed...
