Embodiment Construction

[0060] Step 1: In the framework of the present invention, since subtitles have a temporary storage feature, there is no need to process each frame of image, and we take one frame of image every five frames for processing. The present invention processes based on pixels. If the picture is too large, it will take a long time to process one frame of image, so the real-time performance will be worse. Therefore, before the image processing, the size of the video image is first converted to 448× by linear interpolation. 336.

[0061] The Euclidean distance between two points in the HSI color space is approximately proportional to the degree of human perception, and it has an important feature: the brightness component and the chrominance component are separated, and the brightness component I has nothing to do with the color information of the image, that is, the HSI color space There are relatively independent features between the chromaticity and brightness of the image, so in the...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of video retrieval, relates to related image processing knowledge, and in particular relates to a video text detection method. The video text detection method is characterized by extracting video subtitles from a video to be detected and being used for recognition and video retrieval. The video text detection method comprises the steps of: firstly enhancing the text boundary of an input image by utilizing a gradient amplitude map (GAM); secondly, filtering partial background interference by using morphological filtering in two directions and enhancing the contrast of text and background; thirdly, detecting the saliency map of video text by using a maximally stable extremal region (MSER) detector, and acquiring the optimal segmentation of the text by utilizing Graph Cuts; and finally, connecting the texts to a text row by utilizing the geometrical distribution feature of the texts, and removing non-text regions by using multiframe confirmation and a certain starting education method. The detection method has the effects and benefits that the sensitive technical difficulties of blur text boundary, low contrast and complicated background and the like in text detection are overcome, and the detection results can be directly used for character recognition.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of video retrieval, relates to relevant knowledge of image processing, and in particular relates to a video text detection method. Background technique [0002] Since the 1990s, video retrieval technology based on video subtitle information has attracted much attention from researchers, and many excellent technologies and methods have emerged. The research hotspots mainly focus on video image text detection and positioning. The representative articles and patents published successively since 2005 are described below. [0003] In "A comprehensive method for multilingual video text detection, localization, and extraction.In T-CSVT, 2005", Lyu, M.R et al. analyzed the sobel edge density of the text to locate the position of the text. In the article "A New Approach for Overlay Text Detection and Extraction From Complex Video Scene.In TIP, 2009" by Wonjun Kim et al., the color transition map is used to locate the position...
