Text detection in images based on unsupervised classification of edge-based features • Source: International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition, 2006 • Authors: Chunmei Liu, Chunheng Wang and Ruwei Dai • Speaker: Chih-Hao Chen • Date: 2008/06/04
Introduction Original Image Result
Proposed Method(1/5) Original Image Edge Image Sobel Result Compute Features K-mean
Proposed Method(2/5) Sobel edge detectors: 0° 45° 90° 135°
Proposed Method(3/5) 0° 45° Edge Image (Average) 90° 135°
Proposed Method(4/5) Normalized in the range from 0 to 1 mean energy w h standard deviation Edge Image inertia local homogeneity
Proposed Method(5/5) K-mean: Background Block Text
Experimental Results(1/2) (a) Webpage image (b) Video frame (c) Magazine cover (d) Magazine cover
Experimental Results(2/2) Precision with different block size w x h: 78.3% 100 images
Conclusions • Effective for the distinction between text regions and non-text regions. • Robust for font-size, font-color, background complexity, and language.
