Automatic segmentation and classification of seven-segment display digits on auroral images
In this paper we describe a new and fully automatic method for segmenting and classifying digits in seven-segment displays. The method is applied to a dataset consisting of about 7 million auroral all-sky images taken during the time period of 1973-1997 at camera stations centred around Sodankylä ob...
