In this paper, we present a scheme towards the segmentation of English multi-oriented touching strings into individual characters. When two or more characters touch, they generate a big cavity region at the background portion. Using Convex Hull information, we use these background information to find some initial points to segment a touching string into possible primitive segments (a primitive segment...
Reliable indexing of documents having seal instances can be achieved by recognizing seal information. This paper presents a novel approach for detecting and classifying such multi-oriented seals in these documents. First, Hough Transform based methods are applied to extract the seal regions in documents. Next, isolated text characters within these regions are detected. Rotation and size invariant...
Touching characters are major problem of achieving higher recognition rate in optical character recognition (OCR). Present OCR systems do not perform well when adjacent characters touch. If characters are touched in graphical documents (e.g. map) then such touching string recognition is more difficult because in such documents touching characters appear in multi-oriented direction. In this paper,...
In this paper, we present a scheme towards recognition of English character in multi-scale and multi-oriented environments. Graphical document such as map consists of text lines which appear in different orientation. Sometimes, characters in a single word may follow a curvilinear way to annotate the graphical curve lines. For recognition of such multi-scale and multi-oriented characters a Support...
In graphical documents (map, engineering drawing), artistic documents etc. there exist many printed materials where text lines are not parallel to each other and they are multi-oriented and curve in nature. For the OCR of such documents we need to extract individual text lines from the documents. Extraction of individual text lines from multi-oriented and/or curved text document is a difficult problem...
Text/graphics separation in document image analysis is one of the main concerns in present research work. The complexity enhances when both text and graphics overlap in the context of maps in color images. This paper discusses a number of improvements to text/graphics separation methods to make it suitable for maps. Emphasize is given to the overlapping regions of text and graphics. It also discusses...
