Abstract

Steel slabs are marked with slab management numbers (SMNs). To increase efficiency, automated identification of SMNs from digital images is desirable. Automatic extraction of SMNs is a prerequisite for automatic character segmentation and recognition. The images include complex background, and the position of the text region of the slabs is variable. This paper describes an pre-processing algorithm for detection of slab information using robust feature points extraction. Using SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm, we can reduce the search region for extraction of SMNs from the slab image.
