Integrating multiple character proposals for robust scene text extraction

作者:

Highlights:

• Proposed system separates text regions from images under unconstrained environment.

• Generalized clustering utilizes properties of scene text to detect text boundaries.

• Multiple image segmentations provide various interpretations on text regions.

• Two-step CRF approach models properties and relationship of text in graph structure.

• Character proposals are generated and integrated to find proper character regions.
