  • Publication number: 20220253636
    Abstract: An automatically detecting method for time-varying text region of interest is disclosed. The automatically detecting method is adapted to an image processing unit of an information retrieval system, to detect a time-varying text region of interest having specific characters or character set as unit on an operation screen of a manufacturing machine, a processing machine or other equipment; furthermore, the automatically detecting method can be performed based on presence or absence of the historical screen data, and union of the detected region proposals for the time-varying text region of interest, to obtain an automatically labeled and selected time-varying text region of interest. According to the automatically detecting method, the user only needs to confirm whether the required data are labeled and selected, so it is more convenient for the user to setting data, and greatly helpful to reduce the setting time and correctly detect the required information.
