A Head-Mounted Device for Recognizing Text in Natural Scenes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a mobile head-mounted device for detecting and tracking text that is encased in an ordinary flat-cap hat. The main parts of the device are an integrated camera and audio webcam together with a simple remote control system, all connected via a USB hub to a laptop. A near to real-time text detection algorithm (around 14fps for 640× 480 images) which uses Maximal Stable Extremal Regions (MSERs) for image segmentation is proposed. Comparative results against the ICDAR 2003 text locating competition database along with performance figures are presented. Keywords-wearable device, text detection, text understanding, MSER

Text Detection and Translation from Natural Scenes
We present a system for automatic extraction and interpretation of signs from a natural scene. The system is capable of capturing images, detecting and recognizing signs, and translating them into a target language. The translation can be displayed on a hand-held wearable display, or a head mounted display. It can also be synthesized as a voice output message over the earphones. We address chal...

Introduction: Stereotactic radiosurgery is a technique for the treatment of intracranial lesions with highly collimated x-ray beam. Linac-based radiosurgery is currently performed by two techniques: couch or pedestal mounted. In the first technique, a device is required to affix patient's head to a couch and moreover to translate it accurately. Structure of suc...
متن کاملNatural scene text localization using edge color signature
Localizing text regions in images taken from natural scenes is one of the challenging problems dueto variations in font, size, color and orientation of text. In this paper, we introduce a new concept socalled Edge Color Signature for localizing text regions in an image. This method is able to localizeboth Farsi and English texts. In the proposed method rst a pyramid using diff...
