With the increasing market of cheap cameras, natural scene text has to be handled in an efficient way. Some works deal with text detection in the image while more recent ones poi...
We present a method to detect characters on signboards in natural scene images. For many applications, both classifier with small computational cost and the efficient feature set,...
We propose a novel approach for finding text in images by using ridges at several scales. A text string is modelled by a ridge at a coarse scale representing its center line and n...
A sparse representation based method is proposed for text detection from scene images. We start with edge information extracted using Canny operator and then group these edge poin...
This paper gives an algorithm for detecting and reading text in natural images. The algorithm is intended for use by blind and visually impaired subjects walking through city scen...
