Text detection in video frames

چکیده

In this paper we present the state of the art for detecting text in images and video frames and propose an edge-based algorithm for artificial text detection in video frames. First, an edge map is created using the Canny edge detector. Then, morphological filtering is used, based on geometrical constraints, in order to connect the vertical edges and discard false alarms. A connected component analysis is performed to the filtered edge map in order to determine a bounding box for every candidate text area. Finally, horizontal and vertical projections are calculated on the edge map of every box and a threshold is applied, refining the result and splitting text areas in text lines. The whole algorithm is applied in multiresolution fashion to ensure text detection with size variability. Experimental results prove that the method is highly effective and efficient for artificial text detection.

Efficient video text recognition using multiple frame integration

Text superimposed on the video frames provides supplemental but important information for video indexing and retrieval. Many efforts have been made for videotext detection and recognition (Video OCR). The main difficulties of video OCR are the low resolution and the background complexity. In this paper, we present efficient schemes to deal with the second difficulty by sufficiently utilizing mu...

Automatic Text Detection In Video Frames Based on Bootstrap Artificial Neural Network and CED

In this paper, one novel approach for text detection in video frames, which is based on bootstrap artificial neural network (BANN) and CED operator, is proposed. This method first uses a new color image edge operator (CED) to segment the image and achieve the elementary candidate text block. And then the neural network is introduced into the further classification of the text blocks and the non...
