Text Confining and Extraction in Image Using Mathematical Morphology

Harpreet Singh, Deepinder Singh

Abstract: Extraction of text from an image having complex background is much difficult and a challenging task. Text in any image contains very useful information. Due to difference in style; size; alignment and complex background; text extraction becomes a challenging task. In this paper we confine and extract text characters from an image. To get the text character from an image; we use mathematical morphology. It is a technique used for the analysis and processing of geometrical structures.

Keywords: Mathematical morphology, opening, closing, dilation, erosion, structuring element
