Handwritten Devanagari Word Detection and Localization using Morphological Image Processing









Abstract

In text analysis systems, text detection and localization techniques are preliminary steps for further text recognition tasks. Finding the specific text information in the image is important as it has many significant real-time applications. The available techniques for text detection and localization work well for printed text, but their performance is not good for handwritten text present in an image. Also, the available modern deep learning techniques require large datasets for training. S0, if small handwritten data images are available, then image processing and an effective morphologybased technique for text detection and localization can be used. In this paper, these techniques are used for handwritten documents written in the Devanagari script.
