Text detection, LoG operator, stroke model, almost-Gaussian.Abstract
In this paper methods for real-time text detection in camera-based images are presented, having a particular focus on the Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) operators. These methods are discussed with a specific focus on the aspects of computational complexity and robustness. Some illustrative results and baseline experiments are given to characterize the methods. Moreover, we provide comments on the improvements of the methods to the text detection problem.
