Thresholding Video Images for Text Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thresholdging video images is very challenging due to the fact that image background generally has low resolution and is also more complicated and highly distorted than document images. As a result, thresholding methods that work well for document images may not work effectively for video images in some applications. This paper investigates the issue of thresholding video images for text detection and further develops a relative entropy-based thresholding approach that can effectively extract text from complicated video images. In order to demonstrate its performance a comparative study is conducted among the proposed thresholding method and several thresholding techniques which are widely used for document and gray scale images. The experimental results show that thresholdging video images is far more difficult than thresholding document images and simple histogrambased methods generally do not perform well.

متن کاملText Extraction from Skewed Images
The extraction of text in an image is a classical problem in the computer vision. Extraction involves detection, localization, tracking, extraction, enhancement and recognition of the text from the given image. However variation of text due to difference in size, style, orientation, alignment, low image contrast and complex background make the problem of automatic text extraction extremely chal...

متن کاملReducing Light Change Effects in Automatic Road Detection
Automatic road extraction from aerial images can be very helpful in traffic control and vehicle guidance systems. Most of the road detection approaches are based on image segmentation algorithms. Color-based segmentation is very sensitive to light changes and consequently the change of weather condition affects the recognition rate of road detection systems. In order to reduce the light change ...
