Robust approach towards text extraction from natural scene images captured via mobile devices

Abstract

The paper presents the development of a human-machine interactive software application, especifically useful for text extraction and translation from images which are captured using mobile and digital devices with cameras. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in meeting the challenges behind the processing of such images will be highlighted with real images. In considering of the resource constraint nature of mobile devices, the proposed solution makes best possible choices to balance between recognition accuracy and processing speed.
