Abstract :
Text/graphics separation in document image analysis is one of the main concerns in present research work. The complexity enhances when both text and graphics overlap in the context of maps in color images. This paper discusses a number of improvements to text/graphics separation methods to make it suitable for maps. Emphasize is given to the overlapping regions of text and graphics. It also discusses a method of color separation using clustering method for the purpose of text/graphics separation
