Abstract

The paper presents a method for efficient text detection in unconstrained environments, based on image featuresderived from connected components and on a classification architecture implementing a focus of attention approach.The main application motivating the work is container code detection with the final goal ofchecking freight trains composition. Although the method is strongly influenced by the applicationexperimental evidence speaks in favour of its generality: we present results on container codes, car plates images andon the benchmark dataset ICDAR.
