Abstract

The invention relates to a text detection method and device and a text information extraction method and system, and provides a method for detecting a text region in an image which comprises at least one connected component (CC). The method comprises a text background region (TBR) detection step for detecting at least one TBR from an image; a CC filtering step for filtering the at least one CC based on the detected TBR in order to keep at least one candidate text CC; and a CC combining step for combining the at least one candidate text CC to obtain the text region. According to the method disclosed by the invention, a text position in the image can be pointed out rapidly and/or accurately, so that the performance of text detection is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to text detection, and more specifically, the present disclosure relates to a text detection method and device, and a text information extraction method and system. Background technique [0002] Detecting text in images, especially in natural images, is essential for some computer vision applications such as computer assistance for the visually impaired and foreigners, automatic retrieval of images and videos, and machine navigation in urban environments. important. [0003] However, text detection in natural scenes is a difficult topic. Unlike the scanning of printed pages, faxes, business cards, the main challenge lies in the variety of texts: fonts, font sizes, bevels, distortion due to slanting, etc. Environmental factors such as uneven lighting and reflections, poor lighting conditions, and complex backgrounds add further complications. [0004] In the related literature, text detection methods for detecting text ...
