A Binarization Technique for Extraction of Devanagari Text from Camera Based Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a binarization method for camera based natural scene (NS) images based on edge analysis and morphological dilation. Image is converted to grey scale image and edge detection is carried out using canny edge detection. The edge image is dilated using morphological dilation and analyzed to remove edges corresponding to non-text regions. The image is binarized using mean and standard deviation of edge pixels. Post processing of resulting images is done to fill gaps and to smooth text strokes. The algorithm is tested on a variety of NS images captured using a digital camera under variable resolutions, lightening conditions having text of different fonts, styles and backgrounds. The results are compared with other standard techniques. The method is fast and works well for camera based natural scene images.

Binarizing Business Card Images for Mobile Devices
Business card images are of multiple natures as these often contain graphics, pictures and texts of various fonts and sizes both in background and foreground. So, the conventional binarization techniques designed for document images can not be directly applied on mobile devices. In this paper, we have presented a fast binarization technique for camera captured business card images. A card image...

In this paper we present Document analysis and classification system to segment and classify contents of Arabic document images. This system includes preprocessing, document segmentation, feature extraction and document classification. A document image is enhanced in the preprocessing by removing noise, binarization, and detecting and correcting image skew. In document segmentation, an algorith...
متن کاملUsing Irregular Pyramid for Text Segmentation and Binarization of Gray Scale Images
Compared to binary images that most text extraction methods work on, gray scale images provide much more information for the extraction task. On the other hand complication also arises in determining the subject textual content from its background region (ie. thresholding) before the actual text extraction process can begin. Differing from the usual sequence of processes where document images a...
