AUTOMATIC NON-HORIZONTAL SCENE TEXT RECOGNITION FROM A DOCUMENT IMAGE

The detection and extraction of scene text from document images is one of the challenging research areas. Many researchers have detected and extracted the text from plain text background. But the multi-oriented scene text detection is one of the complex problems due to multi-oriented texts which have different orientation, font size, colors etc. In this work, we have proposed a new algorithm to detect and extract the multi-oriented scene text. Experiments have been carried out to find the robustness on the proposed method, by conducting various experiments on heterogeneous datasets. The proposed method achieves selectively high detection rate of 88.43% on the multi-oriented scene text.
