This paper introduces a method for the automatic discrimination of digital images based on their semantic content. The proposed system allows to detect if a digital image contains or not a text. This is realized by a multi-steps procedure based on low-level features set properly derived. Our experiments show that the proposed algorithm is competitive in efficiency with classical techniques, and it has a lower complexity.
