基于自适应阈值的视频文本检测方法

视频和图像中的文本通常在基于内容的视频数据库检索、网络视频搜索,图像分割和图像修复等中起到重要作用,为了提高文本检测的效率,给出了一种基于多种特征自适应阈值的视频文本检测方法.方法是在Michael算法的基础上,利用文本边缘的强度,密度,水平竖直边缘比3个特征计算自适应局部阈值,用阈值能较好去除非文本区域,提取文本边缘,检测并定位文本,减少了Michael算法单一特征阈值的不利影响.在文本定位阶段引入了合并机制.减少了不完整区域的出现.实验结果表明有较高的精度和召回率,可用于视频搜索、图像分割和图像修复等.

A Video Text Detection Approach Based on Adaptive Thresholds

Texts in videos and images play an important role in video database indexing based on content,searching for videos via Internet,image segmentation and image impainting.A novel video text detection approach based on many characters and adaptive threshold is proposed for improving text detection efficient.The approach based on Michael method uses text strength,density and the ratio of horizon to vertical edges to calculate adaptive local threshold.This threshold can eliminate non-text-area,extract text edges,...
