Breaking text-based CAPTCHAs with variable word and character orientation

作者:

Highlights:

• Automatic segmentation and recognition of CAPTCHAs in Web sites is proposed.

• Anti-recognition techniques use collapsed characters with variable orientation.

• Aligned word and straightened characters are segmented by three-color bar code.

• Original SVM-based learning classifier provides real-time CAPTCHA recognition.

• Extended approach for beating reCAPTCHA of version 2012 shows better performance.
