| Abstract(in English) | The text area extraction is an important process before character recognition for document images.This paper describes a new algorithm for text-line extraction from document images.The principle of the algorithm is grouping together the locally linear elements in the document images,which may be assumed to be text- lines and then be extracted from the images.The algorithm is independent of document structure and is robust for distortion of the image.The primitive rectangles are introduced for the intermediate representation.It is easier and faster to create them than the usual circumscribed rectangles.A method of splitting the bridges between neighboring text-lines is proposed.Combining the bridge splitting process with the text-line extraction,the locally touching text-lines will be extracted as individual ones. |
