A new unified method for detecting text from marathon runners and sports players in video (PR-D-19-01078R2) (2020)
Journal Article
Nag, S., Shivakumara, P., Pal, U., Lu, T., & Blumenstein, M. (2020). A new unified method for detecting text from marathon runners and sports players in video (PR-D-19-01078R2). Pattern recognition, 107, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.patcog.2020.107476

Detecting text located on the torsos of marathon runners and sports players in video is a challenging issue due to poor quality and adverse effects caused by flexible/colorful clothing, and different structures of human bodies or actions. This paper... Read More about A new unified method for detecting text from marathon runners and sports players in video (PR-D-19-01078R2).

Saliency-based bit plane detection for network applications (2020)
Journal Article
Asadzadeh Kaljahi, M., Shivakumara, P., Hakak, S., Yamani Idna Idris, M., Hossein Anisi, M., & Rajan, D. (2020). Saliency-based bit plane detection for network applications. Multimedia Tools and Applications, 79, 18495–18513. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11042-020-08741-9

Transmitting image data without losing significant information is challenging for any network application especially when large color images are transmitted through TCP communication protocol. This is due to network limitations such as buffer overflo... Read More about Saliency-based bit plane detection for network applications.

A Novel Character Segmentation-Reconstruction Approach for License Plate Recognition (2019)
Journal Article
Khare, V., Shivakumara, P., Seng Chan, C., Lu, T., Kim Meng, L., Hock Woon, H., & Blumenstein, M. (2019). A Novel Character Segmentation-Reconstruction Approach for License Plate Recognition. Expert systems with applications, 131, 219-239. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2019.04.030

Developing an automatic license plate recognition system that can cope with multiple factors is challenging and interesting in the current scenario. In this paper, we introduce a new concept called partial character reconstruction to segment characte...

Rough-fuzzy based scene categorization for text detection and recognition in video (2018)
Journal Article
Roy, S., Shivakumara, P., Jain, N., Khare, V., Dutta, A., Pal, U., & Lu, T. (2018). Rough-fuzzy based scene categorization for text detection and recognition in video. Pattern recognition, 80, 64-82. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.patcog.2018.02.014

Scene image or video understanding is a challenging task especially when number of video types increases drastically with high variations in background and foreground. This paper proposes a new method for categorizing scene videos into different clas... Read More about Rough-fuzzy based scene categorization for text detection and recognition in video.

Text segmentation in degraded historical document images (2016)
Journal Article
Kavitha, A., Shivakumara, P., Kumar, G., & Lu, T. (2016). Text segmentation in degraded historical document images. Egyptian Informatics Journal, 17(2), 189-197. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eij.2015.11.003

Text segmentation from degraded Historical Indus script images helps Optical Character Recognizer (OCR) to achieve good recognition rates for Hindus scripts; however, it is challenging due to complex background in such images. In this paper, we prese... Read More about Text segmentation in degraded historical document images.
