TLDR
A framework for classification of text document images based on their script and uses edge direction based features to capture the distribution of curvature and a recently proposed feature selection algorithm to obtain the most discriminating curvature features.Abstract:
We present a framework for classification of text document images based on their script. We deal with the domain of Indian scripts which has high inter script similarities. Indian scripts have characteristic curvature distributions which help in visual discrimination of scripts. We use edge direction based features to capture the distribution of curvature. We also use a recently proposed feature selection algorithm to obtain the most discriminating curvature features. We form hierarchy (automatically) based on statistical distances between the script models. Hierarchy allows us to group similar scripts at one level and then focus on the classification between the similar scripts at the next level leading to improvement in accuracy. We show experiments and results on a large set of about 3400 images.read more

On image classification: city images vs. landscapes
TL;DR: A procedure to qualitatively measure the saliency of a feature towards a classification problem based on the plot of the intra-class and inter-class distance distributions and determines that the edge direction-based features have the most discriminative power for the classification problem of interest here.

Rotation invariant texture features and their use in automatic script identification
TL;DR: Rotation invariant texture features are computed based on an extension of the popular multi-channel Gabor filtering technique, and their effectiveness is tested with 300 randomly rotated samples of 15 Brodatz textures to solve a practical but hitherto mostly overlooked problem in document image processing.
