Abstract :
Character extraction is a very important task in document image process and recognition. It´s also a main step in our image compression scheme for flight coupon images storage. In this paper we improve a segmentation method based on hierarchical layout analysis to extract variable printed characters. Experimental results show the performance of the proposed algorithm
