image.textlinedetector (version 0.2.3)

image_wordsegmentation: Find Words by Connected Components Labelling

Description

Filter the image using the gaussian kernel and extract components which are connected which are to be considered as words.

Usage

image_wordsegmentation(x, kernelSize = 11L, sigma = 11L, theta = 7L)

Value

a list with elements

• n: the number of lines found

• overview: an opencv-image of the detected areas

• words: a list of opencv-image's, one for each word area

Arguments

x

an object of class opencv-image containing black/white binary data (type CV_8U1)

kernelSize

size of the kernel

sigma

sigma of the kernel

theta

theta of the kernel
