چکیده

An Android mobile visual text translator is proposed and developed. The translator is able to extract text from images and perform in situ translation. Our app can automatically recognize texts in simple plain images such as book, sign, and map and overlays the translated text on top of the original one, while preserving information such as location, color, font size, etc. This is often needed when a user tries to know the meaning of a segment of text in another language. The image processing pipeline includes text detection, OCR, text erasure and translation overlay. We tested the app on different images that includes maps, signs, book covers, and white-board. A breakdown of accuracy for text detection and OCR is discussed.
