Text line segmentation in handwritten documents using Mumford-Shah model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Text line segmentation in handwritten documents is an important step in document processing. We present a new text line segmentation method based on the Mumford-Shah model. The algorithm is script independent. In addition, we use morphing to remove overlaps between neighboring text lines and connect broken ones. Experimental results show the validity of our method.

A New Algorithm for Detecting Text Line in Handwritten Documents
Curvilinear text line detection and segmentation in handwritten documents is a significant challenge for handwriting recognition. Given no prior knowledge of script, we model text line detection as an image segmentation problem by enhancing text line structure using a Gaussian window, and adopting the level set method to evolve text line boundaries. Experiments show that the proposed method ach...

Image Segmentation and Its Applications Based on the Mumford-Shah Model Xiaojun Du, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2011 Image segmentation is an important topic in computer vision and image processing. As a region-based (global) approach, the Mumford and Shah (MS) model is a powerful and robust segmentation technique as compared to edge-based (local) methods. In this thesis we apply the MS model t...
متن کاملRobust Segmentation of Unconstrained Online Handwritten Documents
A segmentation algorithm, which can detect different regions of a handwritten document such as text lines, tables and sketches will be extremely useful in a variety of applications such as retrieval, translation and genre classification. However, this task is extremely challenging for handwritten documents, which vary considerably in their structure and content. In this paper, we describe a rob...
متن کاملText line and word segmentation of handwritten documents
In this paper, we present a segmentation methodology of handwritten documents in their distinct entities, namely, text lines and words. Text line segmentation is achieved by applying Hough transform on a subset of the document image connected components. A post-processing step includes the correction of possible false alarms, the detection of text lines that Hough transform failed to create and...
متن کاملA Survey on Word Segmentation Method for Handwritten Documents
One of the most important and challenging tasks in a handwritten recognition pipeline is the segmentation of handwritten document images into text lines and words. Several problems inherent in handwritten documents such as the difference in the skew angle between text lines or along the same text line, the existence of adjacent text lines or words touching, the existence of characters with diff...
