Patent number: 8031940Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus including computer program products for recognizing text in images are provided. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method for recognizing text in an image is provided. The method includes receiving a plurality of images. The method also includes processing the images to detect a corresponding set of regions of the images, each image having a region corresponding to each other image region, as potentially containing text. The method further includes combining the regions to generate an enhanced region image and performing optical character recognition on the enhanced region image.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2006Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Luc Vincent, Adrian Ulges
