چکیده (انگلیسی):

The aim of this study is to propose a new methodology for text region extraction and non text region
removal from complex background colored images. This study presents a new approach based on Gamma
correction by determining a gamma value for enhancing the foreground details in an image. The approach
also uses gray level co-occurrence matrices, texture measures, threshold concepts. The proposed method is a
useful preprocessing technique to remove non text region and to show the text region in the image.
Experiments were on various images from the datasets collected and tagged by the ICDAR robust reading
dataset collection team. Experimental results show that the proposed method has a good performance on
extracting text regions in an image.
