Abstract

Video text provides important semantic information in video content analysis. However, video text with complex background has a poor recognition performance for OCR. Most of the previous approaches to extracting overlay text from videos are based on traditional binarization and give little attention on multi-information integration, especially fusing the background information. This paper presents an effective method to precisely extract characters from videos to enable it for OCR with a good recognition performance. The proposed method combines multi-information together including background information, edge information, and character’s spatial information. Experimental results show that it is robust to complex background and various text appearances.
