摘要: This paper proposes an algorithm for detecting artificial text in video frames using edge information. First, map is created the Canny detector. Then, morphological dilation and opening are used order to connect vertical edges eliminate false alarms. Bounding boxes determined every non-zero valued connected component, consisting initial candidate areas. Finally, projection analysis applied, refining result splitting areas lines. The whole applied different resolutions ensure detection with size variability. Experimental results prove that method highly effective efficient detection.
