Colour Perception Graph for Characters Segmentation
نویسنده
چکیده
Characters recognition in natural images is a challenging problem, as it involves segmenting characters of various colours on various background. In this article, we present a method for segmenting images that use a colour perception graph. Our algorithm is inspired by graph cut segmentation techniques and it use an edge detection technique for filtering the graph before the graph-cut as well as merging segments as a final step. We also present both qualitative and quantitative results, which show that our algorithm perform at slightly better and faster to a state of the art algorithm.

Fuzzy Segmentation of Characters in Web Images Based on Human Colour Perception
This paper describes a new approach for the segmentation of characters in images on Web pages. In common with the authors’ previous work in this subject, this approach attempts to emulate the ability of humans to differentiate between colours. In this case, pixels of similar colour are first grouped using a colour distance defined in a perceptually uniform colour space (as opposed to the common...
متن کاملColour text segmentation in web images based on human perception
There is a significant need to extract and analyse the text in images on Web documents, for effective indexing, semantic analysis and even presentation by non-visual means (e.g., audio). This paper argues that the challenging segmentation stage for such images benefits from a human perspective of colour perception in preference to RGB colour space analysis. The proposed approach enables the seg...
متن کاملTwo Approaches for Text Segmentation in Web Images
There is a significant need to recognise the text in images on web pages, both for effective indexing and for presentation by non-visual means (e.g., audio). This paper presents and compares two novel methods for the segmentation of characters for subsequent extraction and recognition. The novelty of both approaches is the combination of (different in each case) topological features of characte...
متن کاملText segmentation in web images using colour perception and topological features
The research presented in this thesis addresses the problem of Text Segmentation in Web images. Text is routinely created in image form (headers, banners etc.) on Web pages, as an attempt to overcome the stylistic limitations of HTML. This text however, has a potentially high semantic value in terms of indexing and searching for the corresponding Web pages. As current search engine technology d...
متن کاملCharacter Recognition Without Segmentation
A segmentation-free approach to OCR is presented as part of a knowledge-based word interpretation model. This new method is based on the recognition of subgraphs homeomorphic to previously defined prototypes of characters [16]. Gaps are identified as potential parts of characters by implementing a variant of the notion of relative neighborhood used in computational perception. In the system, ea...
