Abstract

This paper proposes an effective method for text detection in video. First, we apply an edge detection method to the video frame with a relative low threshold to keep all possible text edge pixels. Second, a multi-frame integration method is applied to significantly remove background pixels which are not stationary in a specific period. Finally, text regions are extracted by using the coarse to fine projection method. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
