Abstract
The current paper propounds a method for extracting text from images of book covers and embedded text. The automation of this process greatly reduces the human interference while converting books (specifically their covers where this task becomes extremely difficult) to readable and editable electronic format specifically for electronic book readers. To achieve this purpose we propose a technique which works on scanned images of documents. The image is first clustered to reduce the number of color variances, a suitable plane is identified and then text region is segmented using connected component based method. The text thus obtained is then enhanced to ameliorate the results.
