The Markov random field (MRF) has been applied to modeling the connectivity constraints of the text in document images for tasks like binarization and rule-line removal. One challenge of applying the MRF is its high computational cost. This paper presents a method using two nested set of states trained to reduce the computational cost of patch-based MRF. The two sets of states are trained at different...
In this paper, we explore new methods to improve the modeling of facial images under different types of variations like pose, ambient illumination and facial expression. We investigate the intuitive assumption that the parameters for the distribution of facial images change smoothly with respect to variations in the face pose angle. A Markov random field is defined to model a smooth prior over the...
In this paper, we describe an approach to segment handwritten text, machine printed text and noise from annotated machine printed documents. Three categories of word level features are extracted. We use a modified K-Means clustering algorithm for classification followed by a relabeling procedure using Markov Random Field(MRF) based on a concept of neighboring patches and Belief Propagation(BP) rules...
This paper presents a statistical approach to the preprocessing of degraded handwritten forms including the steps of binarization and form line removal. The degraded image is modeled by a Markov random field (MRF) where the hidden-layer prior probability is learned from a training set of high-quality binarized images and the observation probability density is learned on-the-fly from the gray-level...
This paper proposes a statistical approach to degraded handwritten form image preprocessing including binarization and form line removal. The degraded image is modeled by a Markov random field (MRF) where the prior is learnt from a training set of high quality binarized images, and the probabilistic density is learnt on-the-fly from the gray-level histogram of input image. We also modified the MRF...
