Text Detection in Natural Scenes with Multilingual Text.
Mikhail Zarechensky · 2014
Detecting text in natural scenes is an impor-tant prerequisite for further text recognition and other image analysis tasks. Most of text detec-tion methods for scene images usually use a pri-ori knowledge of language to detect text. As a rule such algorithms are evaluated on datasets which contain scenes only with text in English. This paper discusses known text detection algo-rithms and investigates them for invariance to the language. 1
