  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOGNIZING TEXT IN AN IMAGE SEQUENCE OF SCENE IMAGERY
    Publication number: 20080101726
    Abstract: An apparatus and a concomitant method for detecting and recognizing text information in a captured imagery. The present method transforms the image of the text to a normalized coordinate system before performing OCR, thereby yielding more robust recognition performance. The present invention also combines OCR results from multiple frames, in a manner that takes the best recognition results from each frame and forms a single result that can be more accurate than the results from any of the individual frames.
