Abstract
A new connected component based segmentation algorithm which automatically extracts text regions from natural scene images is proposed in this paper. This approach utilizes a multichannel decomposition method to locate text blocks in complex backgrounds. Block alignment analysis and recognition confidence values are used in the combination and identification of the connected components. The algorithm is applied to a test image database and shows promising results
