The amount of UCCs (User Created Contents) has been increasing rapidly and is associated with a serious copyright problem. Automatic logo detection in videos is an efficient means of overcoming the copyright problem. However, logos have varying characteristics, which make logo detection and recognition very difficult. Especially, there are frequent logo transitions in a video, comprising several video contents. This disrupts accurate video segmentation based on logos. Therefore, this paper proposes an accurate logo transition detection method for recognizing logos in digital video contents. The proposed method accurately segments a video according to logo and efficiently recognizes various types of logos. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for logo detection and video segmentation according to logo.

In this paper, we report detection and recognition of vehicle logo from images captured from street CCTV. Image data includes both the front and rear view of the vehicles. The proposed method is a two-step process which combines image preprocessing and faster region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) for logo recognition. Without preprocessing, faster R-CNN accuracy is high only if the image quality is good. The proposed system is focusing on street CCTV camera where image quality is different from a front facing camera. Using perspective transformation the top view images are transformed into front view images. In this system, the detection and accuracy are much higher as compared to the existing algorithm. As a result of the experiment, on day data the detection and recognition rate is improved by 2% and night data, detection rate improved by 14%.

Vehicle-logo recognition technology is very important in vehicle automatic recognition technique. The intended application is automatic recognition of vehicle type for secure access and traffic monitoring applications, a problem not hitherto considered at such a level of accuracy. Vehicle-logo recognition can improve Vehicle type recognition accuracy. So in this paper, introduces how to vehicle-logo recognition. First introduces the region of the license plate by algorithm and roughly located the region of car emblem based on the relationship of license plate and car emblem. Then located the car emblem with precision by the distance of Hausdorff. On the base, processing the region by morphologic, edge detection, analysis of connectivity and pick up the PCA character by lowing the dimension of the image and unifying the PCA character. At last the logo can be recognized using the algorithm of support vector machine. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In real world object detection is an active research topic for understanding different objects from images. There are different models presented in past and had significant results. In this paper we are presenting vehicle logo detection using previous object detection models such as You only look once (YOLO) and Faster Region-based CNN (F-RCNN). Both the front and rear view of the vehicles were used for training and testing the proposed method. Along with deep learning an image pre-processing algorithm called perspective transformation is proposed for all the test images. Using perspective transformation, the top view images were transformed into front view images. This algorithm has higher detection rate as compared to raw images. Furthermore, YOLO model has better result as compare to F-RCNN model.

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, technological changes are being applied in various fields. Automation digitization and data management are also in the field of bills. There are more than tens of thousands of forms of bills circulating in society and bill recognition is essential for automation, digitization and data management. Currently in order to manage various bills, OCR technology is used for character recognition. In this time, we can increase the accuracy, when firstly recognize the form of the bill and secondly recognize bills. In this paper, a logo that can be used as an index to classify the form of the bill was recognized as an object. At this time, since the size of the logo is smaller than that of the entire bill, FPN was used for Small Object Detection among deep learning technologies. As a result, it was possible to reduce resource waste and increase the accuracy of OCR recognition through the proposed algorithm.

Document page segmentation is an important step in building a quality optical character recognition module. The study examined already existing work on the topic of page segmentation and focused on the development of a segmentation model that has greater functional significance for application in an organization, as well as broad capabilities for managing the quality of the model. The main problems of document segmentation were highlighted, which include a complex background of intersecting objects. As classes for detection, not only classic text, table and figure were selected, but also additional types, such as signature, logo and table without borders (or with partially missing borders). This made it possible to pose a non-trivial task of detecting non-standard document elements. The authors compared existing neural network architectures for object detection based on published research data. The most suitable architecture was RetinaNet. To ensure the possibility of quality control of the model, a method based on neural network modeling using the RetinaNet architecture is proposed. During the study, several models were built, the quality of which was assessed on the test sample using the Mean average Precision metric. The best result among the constructed algorithms was shown by a model that includes four neural networks: the focus of the first neural network on detecting tables and tables without borders, the second - seals and signatures, the third - pictures and logos, and the fourth - text. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that the approach based on four neural networks showed the best results in accordance with the objectives of the study on the test sample in the context of most classes of detection. The method proposed in the article can be used to recognize other objects. A promising direction in which the analysis can be continued is the segmentation of tables; the areas of the table that differ in function will act as classes: heading, cell with a name, cell with data, empty cell.

Recently, there has been research to use portable digital camera to recognize objects in natural scene images, including labels or marks on a cylindrical surface. In many cases, text or logo in a label can be distorted by a structural movement of the object on which the label resides. Since the distortion in the label can degrade the performance of object recognition, the label should be rectified or restored from deformations. In this paper, a new method for label detection and restoration in digital images is presented. In the detection phase, the Hough transform is employed to detect two vertical boundaries of the label, and a horizontal edge profile is analyzed to detect upper-side and lower-side boundaries of the label. Then, the biquadratic transformation is used to restore the rectangular shape of the label. The proposed algorithm performs restoration of 3D objects in a 2D space, and it requires neither an auxiliary hardware such as 3D camera to construct 3D models nor a multi-camera to capture objects in different views. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
