Mobile Chinese Translator Using Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER)

چکیده
In this paper, we describe a system for Android smartphones which detects and extracts Chinese text, and translates it into English. Most of the processing is done on a server; the user simply takes a picture with no other input. In this project we are mainly concerned about the text detection part, for which we use the MSER algorithm; the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is based on Tesseract OCR, and translation is done through Google Translate.

A Novel Image Structural Similarity Index Considering Image Content Detectability Using Maximally Stable Extremal Region Descriptor
The image content detectability and image structure preservation are closely related concepts with undeniable role in image quality assessment. However, the most attention of image quality studies has been paid to image structure evaluation, few of them focused on image content detectability. Examining the image structure was firstly introduced and assessed in Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) measu...
متن کاملBeyond MSER: Maximally Stable Regions using Tree of Shapes
Detection of local features which are distinctive, invariant and discriminative is used to construct compact image representations in many computer vision applications. Achieving robustness against viewpoint change motivated the development of affine invariant detectors responding to image gradient or contrast changes, edges or corners. We focus on the Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER) d...
متن کاملEntropy-Based Maximally Stable Extremal Regions for Robust Feature Detection
Maximally stable extremal regions MSER is a state-of-the-art method in local feature detection. However, this method is sensitive to blurring because, in blurred images, the intensity values in region boundary will vary more slowly, and this will undermine the stability criterion that the MSER relies on. In this paper, we propose a method to improve MSER, making it more robust to image blurring...
متن کاملVariation of SIFT Descriptor for Affine Invariant Object Matching
In this paper, a novel affine invariant descriptor for object matching is proposed. The advantage of Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER) method is applied to get the most stable regions in the image. Inside each region, we pick the seeds as keypoints since MSER regions are invariant to affine transformation. Besides that, Voronoi diagram is employed to split the image into small Voronoi ce...
متن کاملSAR image segmentation using MSER and improved spectral clustering
A novel approach is presented for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image segmentation. By incorporating the advantages of maximally stable extremal regions (MSER) algorithm and spectral clustering (SC) method, the proposed approach provides effective and robust segmentation. First, the input image is transformed from a pixelbased to a region-based model by using the MSER algorithm. The input imag...
