  • Patent number: 11087168
    Abstract: A method for locating text in an image is provided. Binarization processing is performed on the image, to set pixel points corresponding to text in the image to a specified color, and a binary image is obtained. A connected domain of pixels of the specified color in the binary image is detected, to obtain a candidate connected region. Connected domain candidate boundaries corresponding to a text region are extracted from the binary image, and the extracting is based on boundaries of the candidate connected region in the binary image and a text arrangement direction. The text region is obtained in the image by using the connected domain candidate boundaries.
