A Simple Text-line segmentation Method

Text line segmentation is an important step because inaccurately segmented text lines will cause errors in the recognition stage.. The nature of handwriting makes the process of text line segmentation very challenging. Text characteristics can vary in font, size, orientation, alignment, color, contrast, and background information. These variations turn the process of word detection complex and difficult. Since handwritten text can vary greatly depending on the user skills, disposition and cultural background. In this work we have proposed the method which works on the different intensity values for extracting the text-lines. General Terms Image processing, Handwritten document analysis
