Text recognition in natural scene images is a challenging problem computer vision. Different than the optical character (OCR), text more complex due to variations size, colors, fonts, orientations, backgrounds, occlusion, illuminations and uneven lighting conditions. In this paper, we propose segmentation-free method based on deep convolutional recurrent neural network solve of cursive recognition, particularly focusing Urdu scenes. Compared non-cursive scripts, writing styles, several...

Detection of anomalies in video surveillance plays a key role ensuring the safety and security public spaces. The number cameras is growing, making it harder to monitor them manually. So, automated systems are needed. This change increases demand for that detect abnormal events or anomalies, such as road accidents, fighting, snatching, car fires, explosions real-time. These improve detection accuracy, minimize human error, make operations more efficient. In this study, we proposed Composite...
