XY Cut Modular approach for Segmenting pages
Keywords:
OCR, document image, X-Y cut segmentation, over segmentation, under segmentationAbstract
the purpose of this experimental research is to present algorithm for reading contents of documented image. Most of the information that is available today in the world is in printed medium. Printed data has hindered storing, exchanging and processing of this information electronically. Converting them from printed to electronic medium is time consuming as well as expensive as well. These factors have motivated people to develop automated systems to perform such task. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is an important technique which is very popular among research and technical communities. As a result of these research and development activities several OCR applications are being made available in the market. In this paper, we propose two separate modules to determining the paragraphs and lines in of a document page which is independent of languages.
