Abstract

Abstract: Because of no prior knowledge about the color of characters, and the disturbance of lighting and noise, character segmentation of scene images is a very difficult issue. In this paper, a novel character segmentation method of color images from digital camera is presented combining edge detection, watershed transform and clustering. Since the extracted characters from color images are output by the binary format, they can be input directly to OCR system for recognition. The experimental results have proven its effectiveness.
