Automatic Text Extraction in Digital Video Based on Motion Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is well known that the text that appears in a video scene or is graphically added to it is an important source of semantic information for indexing and retrieval, notably in the context of video databases. This paper proposes an improved algorithm for the automatic extraction of text in digital video; its major strengths are its robustness in terms of text skew and its improved performance in dealing with scene text. The system is based on a segmentation approach, using geometrical and spatial analyses for text detection. After, temporal redundancy is exploited to improve the detection performance by means of motion analysis. The output of the text detection step is then directly passed to a standard OCR software package in order to obtain the detected text as ASCII characters.

متن کاملAn Improved Motion Vector Estimation Approach for Video Error Concealment Based on the Video Scene Analysis
In order to enhance the accuracy of the motion vector (MV) estimation and also reduce the error propagation issue during the estimation, in this paper, a new adaptive error concealment (EC) approach is proposed based on the information extracted from the video scene. In this regard, the motion information of the video scene around the degraded MB is first analyzed to estimate the motion type of...
