A robust arbitrary text detection system for natural scene images
作者：
Highlights：
• We explore the property that pattern in both Sobel and Canny share the same feature.
• New invariant symmetric features to classify text and non-text pixels correctly.
• We exploit SIFT features to eliminate non-text components.
• Ellipse growing to extract curved text lines using text representatives.
• New objective heuristics to eliminate false positives.
