Extraction of Scene Text in HSI Color Space using K-means Clustering with Chromatic and Intensity Distance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Text extraction is important step that strongly influences on the final recognition performance. This task is especially challenging in case of scene text which is characterized with wide set of degradations like complex backgrounds, uneven illumination, viewing angle, etc. In this paper we evaluated text extraction based on K-means clustering in HSI color space with chromatic distance and intensity distance. Obtained results are analyzed with respect to their complementarity in order to show potential for performance improvement. Comparison is also made with approach using cylindrical distance in K-means clustering of HSI image. Key-Words: scene text extraction, K-means, chromatic distance, intensity distance

Natural scene text localization using edge color signature
Localizing text regions in images taken from natural scenes is one of the challenging problems dueto variations in font, size, color and orientation of text. In this paper, we introduce a new concept socalled Edge Color Signature for localizing text regions in an image. This method is able to localizeboth Farsi and English texts. In the proposed method rst a pyramid using diff...
متن کاملIncluding of Continuous Model for Discriminating Chromatic and Achromatic Pixels in Cylindrical Distance
HSI (hue, saturation, intensity) color space is widespread used in image processing community. H, S and I components corresponds the way human perceives color and they make possible to separate chromatic (hue and saturation) and achromatic (intensity) information. Cylindrical distance is measure of color difference that takes into account angular differences and it is suitable for color spaces ...
متن کاملExtraction of Bibliography Information Based on the Image of Book Cover
This paper describes a new system for extracting and classifying bibliography regions from the color image of a book cover. The same as all the color image processing, the segmentation of color space is an essential and important step in our system; and here HSI color space is adopted rather than RGB color space. The color space is segmented into achromatic and chromatic regions first; and the ...
متن کاملA New Method of Color Image Segmentation Based on Intensity and Hue Clustering
A new method of color image segmentation is proposed in this paper. It’s based on K-means algorithm in HSI space and has the advantage over those based on the RGB space. Both the hue and the intensity components are fully utilized. In the process of hue clustering, the special cyclic property of the hue component is taken into consideration. The paper gives the definition of the distance and th...
متن کاملDetection and Segmentation Text from Natural Scene Images Based on Graph Model
-This paper presents a new scheme for character detection and segmentation from natural scene images. In the detection stage, stroke edge is employed to detect possible text regions, and some geometrical features are used to filter out obvious non-text regions. Moreover, in order to combine unary properties with pairwise features into one framework, a graph model of candidate text regions is se...
