Drop Caps Decomposition for Indexing a New Letter Extraction Method
This paper presents a new method to extract shapes in drop caps and particularly the most important shape: Letter itself. This method relies on a combination of a Aujol and Chambolle algorithm threaded with a segmentation using a Zipf Law in a second step. This method can be enhanced as a three-step process: 1)Decomposition in layers 2)Segmentation using a Zipf Law 3)Selection of connected components to only emphasize the required information letter itself.
