Video Text Detection and Localization Based on Gradients and Coarseness
A novel robust approach to video text detection and localization is presented.Through utilizing the adaptive threshold and the statistics coarseness feature of each horizontal (vertical) pixel line of difference image
the text detection is carried out fast and effectively.To suppress the complex background interference
and perform the video text localization accurately
the magnitude of color gradient is computed only for key feature points (selected pixels)
based on the direction information of gradient vector.The proposed method is robust to various video image quality
background complexities and text appearances.Experimental results on a large number of video images demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
