Abstract
A digitized image that consists of text strings and uniformly distribu ted background symbols must be segmented if the characters in the text string are to be recognized. This paper describes the development and implementation of a morphological approach to character string extrac tion from overlapping text/background images that minimizes the shape distortion of characters. The effectiveness of this algorithm is demon strated on several test images. (C) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
