3. Problem Definition and Identification
Factor to be Resolved
Text Detection and extraction of region from images includes some stimulating
difficulties. For occurrence, the fonts areoften varied with other substances, the
appeals of region carries may be of any scripts of alphabets with any hue state,
the contextual color may varyonly slightly from that of the fonts, the font style
and size of the charms may vary, and the luminance ofthe imageries may also
vary.
1. To design a hierarchical (i.e., tree-based) representation of the image
contents, where adjacency between components is relatedto inclusion
where it’s give as efficiency
2. To design a character segmentation method which is a good tradeoff
between efficiency (linear time complexity) and quality(with a competitive
F-score);
3. Enhance an efficient grouping of characters into text boxes by
skeletonization method, taking fully advantage of the tree structure
construct to left right position.
4. An illustration on image binarization have the capabilities of the proposed
tree-basedrepresentation.
4. An Implementation of Skeletonized Morphological Factor to Applying
Histogram for Text Extraction
The development of image computational method for extracting character
portions from a complicated image is segmented to outlier portion.
Identification of areas corresponding to text in document images is an important
step for a character recognition system. We briefly review a technique for
automatic design of Skeletonization morphological extraction and show its
application to the segmentation of text areas using region selection from images.
We also present a heuristic applied Gabor filter used to refine the segmentation
results. The goal of the proposed method is to realize a practical document
structure analysis for advanced optical character recognition systems with
Heuristic Feature extraction Model. The color evaluation are carried through
hue-saturation of histogram evaluationThe main objective of this work has been
to develop a robust and efficient segmentation system for natural images.

Figure 1: Proposed Skeletonization of Morphological Process for Text Extraction
Morphological factor can be achieved by advancing the state-of-art in terms of
pushing forward the edge recognition methods to meet the challenges of the
segmentation task in different situations under extraction processing methods as
shown in figure 1. Consequently, more efficient methods and novel strategies to
issues for which current approaches of previous implementations are developed.
The performance of the presented segmentation produced high performance by
processing this implementation
Pre-processing
Our method is a connected component-based method. Therefore, pre-processing
is an important step to binarize images, extract connected components and
remove noise. First of all, image binarization method is applied to binarize the
image and then all connected components are extracted by he connected
component labeling method. However, not all connected components are
suitable for learning phase or land testing phase such as noise, stains resulting
from the scanning process, etc. Based on the characteristics of connected
components such as size, shape and position, we apply some rules to remove
such small noisy components and stain connected components which usually
have long shapes and appear in the boundary of a document. By sustaining the

Where x is variable; m and s, are the mean and standard deviation of the
variable’s natural logarithm for all connected components of the images
respectively
Skeletonized Feature Extraction
Many features can be extracted from connected components. However, if a
selected feature is not good, it does not benefit classification. As shape and
context are very important features with which humans recognize or segment
and image, we extract features from size information, shape information, stroke
width, and position of connected components.
a) Elongation Frame Edge Detection of Skeletonized Text Region
The extraction Frame edges are the dissimilar characteristics of the text blocks
which can be used to notice possible text regions. Here, by discovery the edges
in the revealed sub images and combining the edges controlled in each sub
image, the applicant text regions can be originate. As a result, we initially need
to employ a morphological form edge detector. Here, for computational
efficiency, the Sobel edge detector is used. The Sobel edge detector is efficient
to excerpt the strong edges that are desirable in thisapplication carried forming
edges are outlined. We apply the Sobel edge detector on eachsub image.The
algorithm for computing the edge image E, as follows:
Algorithm 4.1 Input: Text Image Output: Detected Edges
Step 1: Accept the input image for preprocess
Step 2: masking Gx, Gy to the input image
Step 3: Sobel edge detection procedure is applied and the gradient Step
Step 4: Masks manipulation of Gx,Gy separately on the input image
For all the pixels in the gray image G(x,y) do
Calculate left = (G(x,y) – G(x-1,y))
Calculate upper = (G(x,y) – G(x,y-1))
For each (Edge region mapping)
Calculate |G|=√
End
Calculateupper Right = (G(x,y)-G(x+1,y-1))
Calculate. E(x,y) = max( left, upper, upper Right )
End For
Step 5.Sharpen the image E by convolving it with a sharpening filter.
W (x,y) = max( L,U,UR)
Step 6: the absolute magnitude is the output edges
b) Stroke filtering of non-text area region
In this stage, filters are further applied to remove the non-text areas using
strokes structural physical rules. To do so, edge region stimulate summarize the

shared attributes of horizontal texts as:
a) Edges to form carried texts,
b) Text bars are formed with widths are larger than their heights,
c) Bounded sizes are round to region of object texts and
d) Textsconsume a singular texture property
We generate horizontal and vertical run-length histograms, and from each
histogram we extract the mode, mean, variance and maximal run-length.
Distance to estimated text lines: the distance of an element € to the text lines (L)
is defined in following equation
Wherevi and vj are pixels in e and `, respectively
D (E, L) = max ->vi∈e {min->vj∈ |vi –vj |2}
The lower the value, the more confidence we require from the normal
distribution in order to assign a text label for an element
Segmentation
The Segmentation of the image is carried through candidate extraction model.
Lining edges are outsourced to split the edges using segmentation algorithm,
inwhich text is projected object linear extraction into Lines and Words. They
using the outmodedof structure vertical and horizontal projectionSegmentation
of appealsis faster than the conservative method in which all the letterings from
the text are segmented by associatedcomponent dispensationof extraction only.
Experimental results it ispragmatic that 98% line, word segmentation. The
projected technique starts by segmenting the appearances of line edges and then
words from the binarized de-skewed text image using straight formatted line
joining edge mapping and vertical projection profiles separately splinted. In the
projection skeleton methods, theflat and perpendicular profiles are computed.
To separate text lines, the horizontal projection profile of the text document
imageis found. The horizontal projection profile (HPP) is a Histogram of a
quantity of ON pixels along each row ofthe image. When the projection profiles
are planned, wecan see mountains and valleys in the plot the segmentations are
splitted. White spaceamong the text lines is cast-off to segment the text lines.
Word Segmentation
The line spacing between the wordsis used for word segmentation to restructure
the text formation. Forming text script, spacing among the words is superiorto
thespacing between the characters in a word that easily extract the gap foaming.
The line spacing between the words originates the text joining is found by
captivating the Vertical Projection Profile (VPP) of an input text line.
Removing False Location
In this steps false locations are removed due to the general rules of the text un
text object regions. False locations are un text regions or background of region
outsourced are that is greater than no segment lines are evacuated; this rule will
result in eliminating most of the square images text boxing pixel regions are
that might be found incorrectly as the text regions. This rule results originates

the exact layer projection of removing singular letters and numbers. In case that
in a particular joining texts are considered as single characters, then this ground
position substitutes by the subsequent.

Founded square text regions are recognized as single characters without false
crossing regions if their height (width) has a strong-minded size. This text
orientation size is obviously input-dependent. For horizontally regions are
associated in layered text regions, the text block height is amongst two
threshold values. This rule is castoff to eliminate the vertical lines that might
have been noticed in the vertical projection duplicate of the wavelet transform.
These are calculated by probabilities caries the weightage analysis whether the
masking region as are maintained by pixel position.
5. Result and Discussion
The results are implemented in MATLAB with image processing simulation
environment. The projected morphological skeletonized algorithm is tested with
numerous images with trained text regions. We considered only good quality
preprocessed images where there are no overlying to outline suppressed images,
space lining texts, or broken characters. The proposed Skeletonized
morphological factor SMF has produced efficient results than another classifier.
We have evaluated the proposed algorithm with different methodologies
discussed earlier.

6. Conclusion
For future work, we are considering advanced preprocessing to resolve
problems in distinguishing non-text incontemporary images. Moreover, we will
investigate theuse of automatic feature learning for text versus non-text
discrimination. This paper has presented a Skeletonization method for
segmenting the text and non-text in document images. The method is based on a
set of powerful connected component features. Those features utilize size,
shape, and stroke width and position informationof connected components.
Morphological trained on those features to obtain a model for labelling
connected components. Our results show that the method issimple, fast and is
really able to discriminate text from context, including the text that appears
within graphical.
