✦ Synopsis

In this paper, a novel binarization algorithm for color text images is presented. This algorithm effectively integrates color clustering and binary texture analysis, and is capable of handling situations with complex backgrounds. In this algorithm, dimensionality reduction and graph theoretical clustering are first employed. As the result, binary images related to clusters can be obtained. Binary texture analysis is then performed on each candidate binary image. Two kinds of effective texture features, run-length histogram and spatial-size distribution related respectively, are extracted and explored. Cooperating with an LDA classifier, the optimal candidate of the best binarization effect is obtained. Experiments with images collected from Internet has been carried out and compared with existing techniques, both show the effectiveness of the algorithm.

This paper proposes a local adaptive thresholding method based on a water #ow model, in which an image surface is considered as a three-dimensional (3-D) terrain. To extract characters from backgrounds, we pour water onto the terrain surface. Water #ows down to the lower regions of the terrain and "

Remote sensing techniques have been seen as valuable and low-cost tools for frequent forest inventory purposes. However, estimation errors of relevant forest structure variables remain too high for operational use of high spatial resolution satellite imagery, such as Landsat TM/ETM and SPOT HRV, in
