  Parasite quantification is crucial to understand disease pathogenesis. An automated method of determining parasite density would facilitate higher throughput and provide results that are more objective. The study objectives ...
• A survey on applications of bipartite graph edit distance 

  Stauffer, Michael; Tschachtli, Thomas; Fischer, Andreas; Riesen, Kaspar (Springer, 2017-05)

  About ten years ago, a novel graph edit distance framework based on bipartite graph matching has been introduced. This particular framework allows the approximation of graph edit distance in cubic time. This, in turn, makes ...
• Speeding-up graph-based keyword spotting in historical handwritten documents 

  Stauffer, Michael; Fischer, Andreas; Riesen, Kaspar (Springer, 2017-05)

  The present paper is concerned with a graph-based system for Keyword Spotting (KWS) in historical documents. This particular system operates on segmented words that are in turn represented as graphs. The basic KWS process ...
• A novel graph database for handwritten word images 

  Stauffer, Michael; Fischer, Andreas; Riesen, Kaspar (Springer, 2016-11)

  For several decades graphs act as a powerful and flexible representation formalism in pattern recognition and related fields. For instance, graphs have been employed for specific tasks in image and video analysis, ...
