Perceptive Vision for Headline Localisation in Bangla Handwritten Text Recognition
International audienceIn this paper, we propose to give tools for Bangla handwriting recognition. We present a mechanism to segment documents into text lines and words, and more specifically to detect headline position in each word. Indeed, this headline is an horizontal line on the upper part of most of characters, which is characteristic of Bangla writing. Its localisation is a new approach that can improve text recognition quality. This headline is detected into words inside text lines thanks to a notion of perceptive vision: at a certain distance, text lines appear as line-segments that give the global orientation of words. Watching closer may help to give the exact position of the headline. Consequently, this work is mainly based on applying a segment extractor at different image resolutions and combining extracted information in order to compute the headlines. Our line-segment extractor is based on Kalman filtering
A System for Bangla Handwritten Numeral Recognition
Colloque avec actes et comité de lecture. internationale.International audienceThis paper deals with a recognition system for unconstrained off-line Bangla handwritten numerals. To take care of variability involved in the writing style of different individuals, a robust scheme is presented here. The scheme is mainly based on new features obtained from the concept of water overflow from the reservoir as well as topological and structural features of the numerals. The proposed scheme is tested on data collected from different individuals of various background and we obtained an overall recognition accuracy of about 92.8% from 12000 data

Efficient computation of the outer hull of a discrete path
We present here a linear time and space algorithm for computing the outer hull of any discrete path encoded by its Freeman chain code. The basic data structure uses an enriched version of the data structure introduced by Brlek, Koskas and Provençal: using quadtrees for representing points in the discrete plane ℤ×ℤ with neighborhood links, deciding path intersection is achievable in linear time and space. By combining the well-known wall follower algorithm for traversing mazes, we obtain the desired result with two passes resulting in a global linear time and space algorithm. As a byproduct, the convex hull is obtained as well
Early collective expansion: Relativistic hydrodynamics and the transport properties of QCD matter
Relativistic hydrodynamics for ideal and viscous fluids is discussed as a
tool to describe relativistic heavy-ion collisions and to extract transport
properties of the quark-gluon plasma from experimentally measured hadron
momentum spectra.Comment: Review article, 54 pages, 25 figure
Hydrodynamic Modeling and the QGP Shear Viscosity
In this article, we will briefly review the recent progress on hydrodynamic
modeling and the extraction of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) specific shear
viscosity with an emphasis on results obtained from the hybrid model VISHNU
that couples viscous hydrodynamics for the macroscopic expansion of the QGP to
the hadron cascade model for the microscopic evolution of the late hadronic
stage.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, EPJA: Topical issue on "Relativistic Hydro- and

Characterization and featuring of histological section images.
Image analysis of the structural organization of cells in histological sections has been shown to be useful for the quantitative characterization of tissue. The organization may be expressed in the form of a tree or a graph structure. Features derived from the graph along with the cell features can be used effectively for case classification and diagnosis. The paper describes techniques of generating the tree and graph as well as deriving features from them. Results of applying the techniques to cervical tissue section specimen images are also presented
