Development of Framework for Text Extraction from Videos
Abstract
Video text provides important and meaningful information about video content which is helpful for many applications like automatic annotation of video and images, indexing etc. The problem of automatic extraction of text from the video is a difficult task because of the variations in text style, font, size, line orientation and also because of complex background. Text extraction problem has been addressed by various methods. The aim of this paper is to propose a framework for extracting text from a video using Java platform. This framework performs preprocessing, detection and recognition. Preprocessing involves converting frames into gray scale, blurring and binarization. Detection includes localization and segmentation, and recognition is done by template matching. This framework can be applied for multiple languages.
