A novel method by combining the edge-based and stroke filter based text extraction in the videos is presented. Several researchers have used edge-based and filter based text extraction in the video frames. However, these individual techniques are having their own advantages and disadvantages to extract text in the video frames. Combination of these two techniques fetches good result as compared to individual techniques. In this paper, the canny edge-based and stroke filter for text extraction in the video frames are amalgamated. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated over the individual edge-based and stroke filter based techniques and found that the proposed method significantly improves the text extraction rate in the videos in terms of precision (91.99%) and recall (87.18%) respectively
