      Rahiche A.; Hedjam R.; Al-Maadeed, Somaya; Cheriet M. ( Elsevier Masson s.r.l. , 2020 , Article)
      The estimation of the age of undated old manuscripts is one of the most challenging and controversial tasks in the field of historical document analysis. Several dating methods have been proposed, but most of them either ...
    • MHDID: A Multi-distortion Historical Document Image Database 

      Shahkolaei A.; Beghdadi A.; Al-Maadeed S.; Cheriet M. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference Paper)
      In this paper, a new dataset, called Multi-distortion Historical Document Image Database (MHDID), to be used for the research on quality assessment of degraded documents and degradation classification is proposed. The MHDID ...
    • Subjective and objective quality assessment of degraded document images 

      Shahkolaei A.; Nafchi H.Z.; Al-Maadeed S.; Cheriet M. ( Elsevier Masson SAS , 2018 , Article)
      The huge amount of degraded documents stored in libraries and archives around the world needs automatic procedures of enhancement, classification, transliteration, etc. While high-quality images of these documents are in ...
    • Time-Frequency Distributions Based on Compact Support Kernels: Properties and Performance Evaluation 

      Abed, M; Belouchrani, A; Cheriet, M; Boashash, B ( IEEE , 2012 , Article)
      This paper presents two new time-frequency distributions (TFDs) based on kernels with compact support (KCS) namely the separable (CB) (SCB) and the polynomial CB (PCB) TFDs. The implementation of this family of TFDs ...
