In this fuzzy model based character recognition, the features extracted from a character are used to form the fuzzy sets. Assuming these fuzzy sets have the overlapping/interactive information, this paper develops an Interactive Fuzzy Model by devising new fuzzy rules for linking them.

A color representation of the face is presented to detect the color of the skin, eyes and hair in high resolution color images.

The mean shift is a simple but powerful tool emerging from the computer science literature which shifts a point to the local center of mass around this point.

We present an online adaptive hierarchical clustering algorithm in a decision tree framework. Our model consists of an online adaptive binary tree and a code formation layer.

The estimation of the appropriate number of clusters is a known problem in cluster analysis, that affects the clusters stability.

Compound character is a special feature of Marathi script, derived from Devanagari. It joins two or more characters in various ways forming a new character.

Research on Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of Devnagari script is very challenging due to the complex structural properties of the script that are not observed in most other scripts.

 The regularized linear discriminant analysis (LDA) technique overcomes the small sample size (SSS) problem by adding a regularization parameter to the eigenvalues of within-class scatter matrix.

This paper presents a new, and novel data-adaptive expert approach to determining the best factor pattern structure in exploratory factor analysis (EFA) models using a clever genetic algorithm (GA) hybridized with information theoretic complexity (ICOMP) criterion as the fitness function.

Support vector regression has been proposed in a number of image processing tasks including blind image deconvolution, image denoising and single frame super-resolution.

In recent years the region based image fusion algorithms has drawn the attention of researches because it is more meaningful to combine regions rather than pixels.

Three-dimensional Flash Lidar camera is a new technology which allows a single camera to take multiple images in a fast succession.

This paper reports the performance of a character recognition test using MNIST handwritten-digit database. The presented assessment is twofold, first it shows the performance of a recognition test based on a very simple feature extraction method, secondly it shows a disparity within the database that may be important when recognition algorithms are compared.

This paper presents a multimodal biometric system based on error level fusion. Two error level fusion strategies, one involving the Choquet integral and another involving the t-norms are proposed.

Classic statistical thresholding methods based on maximizing between-class variance and minimizing class variance fail to achieve satisfactory results when segmenting small objects.
