Research of Text Recognition Based on Natural Scene

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the demands of the text recognition in natural scenes, we focus on the text recognition system and its algorithm. Firstly, we present a secondary detection method in which we locate the text area quickly by using the edge of these characters and secondly introduce an improved segmentation algorithm of active contour to detect the location of the target character accurately, based on prior knowledge. Lastly, in the state of text recognition, we propose a KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor) classification method using the descriptor of shape context. The experiments show that our algorithm could achieve better detection rate than others.
