Osamu Shiku, Yi Xiao, Hong Yan · 2005
We propose a method for the extraction of texts in various directions and sizes from natural scene images with complex backgrounds. Our method is composed of a character pattern extraction stage and a text extraction stage. This method was applied to 400 camera-captured scene images involving 1212 texts. As a results, 78.9% of the 1212 texts were correctly extracted.
