Abstract
Compared with deep learning methods, traditional image processing methods have lower computational costs and have advantages for typical problems such as sign text, this paper proposes a sign text location method based on pixel-level gradient ray map and edge contour mapping. First, based on image pre-processing, the pixel-level gradient ray map is obtained by using the Stroke Width Transform. Then, using the Maximally Stable Extremal Region method to locate the irregular text candidate area in the ray map. At the same time, add a mask layer to filter the irregular candidate area, and then regularize the candidate area and perform Non-Maximum Suppression processing. Finally, the background non-text candidate area is processed by extracting the mapping of the closed edge contour of the image, and the remaining text area positioning candidate frame coordinates are mapped back to the original picture. The experimental results show that the method is simple and clear, the effect is remarkable, and it has good robustness to the sign of different sizes.
