Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Scene text localization using keypoints(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Erdoğmuş, Nesli; Özuysal, MustafaScene text localization and recognition (also known as text localization and recognition in real-world images, nature scene OCR or text-in-the-wild problem) is an open problem, attracting increasing interest from researchers. In this paper, we address the localization issue and leave the recognition part out of its scope. For the purpose of scene text localization, Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) keypoints are extracted from the images and classified as text and non-text. Subsequently, the text keypoints are utilized to compute the bounding boxes around text regions. The proposed technique is tested on the database of ICDAR 2013 Robust Reading Competition-Challenge 2 and the experimental results are reported in detail. Although the idea introduced here is still at its infancy, it is observed to achieve remarkable results and due to the fact that there is a large room for improvement, it is found to be promising.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Curve Description by Histograms of Tangent Directions(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2019) Köksal, Ali; Özuysal, MustafaThe authors propose a novel approach for the description of objects based on contours in their images using real-valued feature vectors. The approach is particularly suitable when objects of interest have high contrast and texture-free images or when the texture variations are high so textural cues are nuisance factors for classification. The proposed descriptor is suitable for nearest neighbour classification still popular in embedded vision applications when the power considerations outweigh the performance requirements. They describe object outlines purely based on the histograms of contour tangent directions mimicking many of the design heuristics of texture-based descriptors such as scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT). However, unlike SIFT and its variants, the proposed approach is directly designed to work with contour data and it is robust to variations inside and outside the object outline as well as the sampling of the contour itself. They show that relying on tangent direction estimation as opposed to gradient computation yields a more robust description and higher nearest neighbour classification rates in a variety of classification problems.
