Kannada text extraction from images is difficult than extraction of non-oriental language text like English. The geometry and inter-character spacing is non-uniform in Kannada script. Kannada Text extraction from camera captured images is a more challenging problem. The images can be from wide variety of sources and a generic system is difficult to build. We have developed a complete system which takes care of most image variations and the output of the system is Kannada text found in the image. Testing is done on camera captured images and ICDAR database. Excellent results are achieved.
