| Abstract(in English) | In this paper, we develop a method to detect and recognize text regions in manga. The proposed detection method combined classifications for connected components and regions. To improve recognition accuracy, we remove noise objects before conducting optical character recognition (OCR) and correct misrecognition with text corpus after the OCR. We also constructed a large-scale dataset of text regions for learning and evaluation. We conducted experiments using our dataset, and the results showed our detection and recognition methods are more effective than previous methods. We expect our method can be applied for a lot of applications such as search by text or automatic translation of manga. |
