text detection from natural scene -- 2

Job ID: 33575510

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

use Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER) for detecting text candidates from the enhanced images. We then introduce Cloud of Line Distribution (COLD) features, which capture the distribution of pixels of text candidates in the polar domain. The extracted features are sent to a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) to correct the bounding boxes for arbitrarily oriented text lines by removing false positives. Experiments are conducted on a dataset of low light images to evaluate the proposed enhancement step. In addition, experimental results on a variety of standard benchmark datasets, namely, ICDAR 2013, ICDAR 2015 and ICDAR 2017
