In this paper, a novel Chinese character localization method is proposed for texts in advertising images. To deal with the texts with gradient color, a color clustering method based on edge is introduced to separate the color image into homogeneous color layers. To solve the problem of locating characters varied in size, style and arranged in irregular direction, a novel character localization method...
The story-related subject caption (SSC) in broadcast news video expresses the subject of news story, and plays an important role in news story segmentation and news video indexing. We find that a SSC always has a strip background and all the SSCs in one news video have the same style. By taking advantage of these characters, this paper presents an unsupervised approach to detect SSCs in broadcast...
It has been a challenge to locate character in flash due to the variations of character in size, color and style. Besides, multilingual text in flash brings more difficulties to character localization. In this paper, a novel character localization method based on connected component analysis is proposed for locating character in flash. The proposed method first clusters the color to separate the color...
A fast image in painting method based on hybrid similarity-distance is proposed in this paper. In Criminisi et al.'s work, similarity distance are not reliable enough in many cases and the algorithm performs inefficiently. To solve these problems, we propose a new searching strategy to accelerate the algorithm. In addition, we modify the confidence-updating rule to make more reasonable the distributions...
Web mining has become an important field of research. However, there is an important challenge to applying the technique to NLP applications. An integrated data mining system for NLP in Chinese commercial Web sites is presented in this paper. It presented the data mining process in detail. More importantly, it puts forward a new enhanced method to acquire user preferences. Web mining applied to NLP...
