Abstract:
This paper presents a method for locating text based on a simplified pulse coupled neural network (PCNN).The PCNN generates a firings map in a similar way to the human visual system with non-linear image processing.The PCNN is used to segment the original image into different planes and edges detected using both the PCNN firings map and a phase congruency detector.The different edges are integrated using an automatically adjusted weighting coefficient.Both the simplified PCNN and the phase congruency energy...
