Abstract

Image verification has been widely used in numerous websites to prevent them from batch registration or automated posting One category of the image verification is generated by adding noise into character or digit images to make them hard to be recognized by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) In this paper, we propose a novel probability gradient function for active contour models to efficiently segment this type of images for easier recognition Experiments on a set of images with different intensities and types of noise show the superiority of the proposed probability gradient to traditional method The purpose of our paper is to warn some websites who are still using such kind of verification: they should improve their defense method to prevent them from the potential risk.
