Efficient Character Skew Rectification in Scene Text Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an efficient method for character skew rectification in scene text images. The method is based on a novel skew estimators, which exploit intuitive glyph properties and which can be efficiently computed in a linear time. The estimators are evaluated on a synthetically generated data (including Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Runic scripts) and real scene text images, where the skew rectification by the proposed method improves the accuracy of a state-of-the-art scene text recognition pipeline.

Skew Detection from Natrual Scene Images: A Review
Natural scene images are generally captured with portable devices such as mobile phone cameras. Scene images contains text information as part of captured scene. Scene image text poses difficultly in processing as compared to document text due to complexity of scene and open environment conditions. Scene images usually suffer from skew deformation due to inherent nature of portable capturing de...

In this paper we describe a very simple and efficient method for the détection and recognition of the Malayalam text from colour natural scene images taken by a mobile phone camera. Malayalam text detection, skew correction of the detected text ,text segmentation and character recognition are the important steps in text understanding from natural scene images. Text understanding in natural scen...
متن کاملText/Graphics Separation and Skew Correction of Text Regions of Business Card Images for Mobile Devices
Separation of the text regions from background texture and graphics is an important step of any optical character recognition system for the images containing both texts and graphics. In this paper, we have presented a novel text/graphics separation technique and a method for skew correction of text regions extracted from business card images captured with a cell-phone camera. At first, the bac...

متن کاملPart-Based Skew Estimation for Mathematical Expressions
We propose a novel method for the skew estimation on text images containing mathematical expressions which can be applied to various characters layouts. Current OCR systems are not capable of recognizing skewed characters in images correctly, and hence skew correction in such images is essential for character recognition. Conventionally methods such as projection profile methods, Hough transfor...
