Multilingual Artificial Text Extraction and Script Identification from Video Images
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
This work presents a system for extraction and script identification of multilingual artificial text appearing in video images. As opposed to most of the existing text extraction systems which target textual occurrences in a particular script or language, we have proposed a generic multilingual text extraction system that relies on a combination of unsupervised and supervised techniques. The unsupervised approach is based on application of image analysis techniques which exploit the contrast, alignment and geometrical properties of text and identify candidate text regions in an image. Potential text regions are then validated by an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) using a set of features computed from Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrices (GLCM). The script of the extracted text is finally identified using texture features based on Local Binary Patterns (LBP). The proposed system was evaluated on video images containing textual occurrences in five different languages including English, Urdu, Hindi, Chinese and Arabic. The promising results of the experimental evaluations validate the effectiveness of the proposed system for text extraction and script identification.
