Abstract

Most existing methods of text segmentation in video images are not robust because they do not consider the intrinsic characteristics of text. In this paper, we propose a novel method of text segmentation based on stroke filter (SF). First, we give the definition of text, which is realized in the form of stroke filter based on local region analysis. Based on stroke filter response, text polarity determination and local region growing modules are performed successively. The effectiveness of our method is validated by experiments on a challenging database.
