Abstract

Text embedded in images and a video frame provides brief and important information about the content that can be used for indexing and retrieving of images and videos from large web databases efficiently. A coarse to fine algorithm is used to detect text lines in images and video frames under complex background. Coarse detection obtains the candidate text regions using the property dense intensity variety of text regions and contrast between text and its background by employing wavelet decomposition and density based region growing methods. Fine detection uses the texture property to discriminate between text and non-text pattern, it is done by employing four feature extractions wavelet moment feature, wavelet histogram feature, wavelet co-occurrence feature and crossing count histogram feature. Before classification the effective features from extracted features are selected using forward selection algorithm. Finally to detect text from non-text with polynomial kernel function Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used.
