Character encoding is the method used to represent characters or symbols on a computer, and there are many encoding detection software tools. For the widely used encoding detection software"uchardet", the accuracy of encoding detection of unmodified normal text document is 91.39%, but the accuracy of language detection is only 32.09%. Also, if a text document is encrypted by substitution, the accuracy of encoding detection is 3.55% and the accuracy of language detection is 0.06%. Therefore, in this paper, we propose encoding and language detection of text document using the deep learning algorithm called LSTM(Long Short-Term Memory). The results of LSTM are better than encoding detection software"uchardet". The accuracy of encoding detection of normal text document using the LSTM is 99.89% and the accuracy of language detection is 99.92%. Also, if a text document is encrypted by substitution, the accuracy of encoding detection is 99.26%, the accuracy of language detection is 99.77%.

본 논문에서는 Scene Text Detection의 새로운 프레임워크인 TextFuseNet에 영상처리 관련 기술인 선명화 기법을 제안한다. Scene Text Detection은 야외 간판이나 표지판 등 불특정 배경에서 글자를 인식하는 기술이며, 그중 하나의 프레임워크가 TextFuseNet이다. TextFuseNet은 문자, 단어, 전역 기준으로 텍스트를 감지하는데, 여기서는 영상처리의 기술인 선명화 기법을 적용하여 TextFuseNet의 성능을 향상시키는 것이 목적이다. 선명화 기법은 기존 Sharpening Filter 방법과 Unsharp Masking 방법을 사용하였고 이 중 Sharpening Filter 방법을 적용하였을 때 AP가 0.9% 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

In this paper we present a text detection method inspired by wavelet packet analysis and improved fuzzy clustering algorithm(IAFC).This approach assumes that the text and non-text regions are considered as two different texture regions. The text detection is achieved by using wavelet packet analysis as a feature analysis. The wavelet packet analysis is a method of wavelet decomposition that offers a richer range of possibilities for document image. From these multi scale features, we adapt the improved fuzzy clustering algorithm based on the unsupervised learning rule. The results show that our text detection method is effective for document images scanned from newspapers and journals.

Plagiarism detection is increasingly exploiting text alignment. Text alignment involves extracting the plagiarism passages in a pair of the suspicious document and its source document. The heuristics have achieved excellent performance in text alignment. However, the further improvements of the heuristic methods mainly depends more on the experiences of experts, which makes the heuristics lack of the abilities for continuous improvements. To address this problem, machine learning maybe a proper way. Considering the position relations and the context of text segments pairs, we formalize the text alignment task as a problem of sequence labeling, improving the current methods at the model level. Especially, this paper proposes to use the probabilistic graphical model to tag the observed sequence of pairs of text segments. Hence we present the sequence labeling approach for text alignment in plagiarism detection based on Conditional Random Fields. The proposed approach is evaluated on the PAN@CLEF 2012 artificial high obfuscation plagiarism corpus and the simulated paraphrase plagiarism corpus, and compared with the methods achieved the best performance in PAN@CLEF 2012, 2013 and 2014. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly outperforms the state of the art methods.

Text extraction and binarization are the important pre-processing steps for text recognition. The performance of text binarization strongly related to the accuracy of recognition stage. In our proposed method, the first stage based on line detection and shape feature analysis applied to locate the position of a business card and detect the shape from the complex environment. In the second stage, several local regions contained the possible text components are separated based on the projection histogram. In each local region, the pixels grouped into several connected components based on the connected component labeling and projection histogram. Then, classify each connect component into text region and reject the non-text region based on the feature information analysis such as size of connected component and stroke width estimation.

Table detection is a challenging problem and plays an important role in document layout analysis. In this paper, we propose an effective method to identify the table region from document images. First, the regions of interest (ROIs) are recognized as the table candidates. In each ROI, we locate text components and extract text blocks. After that, we check all text blocks to determine if they are arranged horizontally or vertically and compare the height of each text block with the average height. If the text blocks satisfy a series of rules, the ROI is regarded as a table. Experiments on the ICDAR 2013 dataset show that the results obtained are very encouraging. This proves the effectiveness and superiority of our proposed method.

This paper proposes an edge-based text region detection algorithm using the adaptive character-edge maps which are independent of the size of characters and the orientation of character string in natural images. First, labeled images are obtained from edge images and in order to search for characters, adaptive character-edge maps by way grammar are applied to labeled images. Next, selected label images are clustered as for distance of its neighbors. And then, text region candidates are obtained. Finally, text region candidates are verified by using the empirical rules and horizontal/vertical projection profiles based on the orientation of text region. As the results of experiments, a text region detection algorithm turned out to be robust in the matter of various character size, orientation, and the complexity of the background.

In this paper, we propose a lightweight deep learning architecture tailored for efficient text detection in fashion design sketch images. Given the increasing prominence of Digital Transformation in the fashion industry, there is a growing emphasis on harnessing digital tools for creating fashion design sketches. As digitization becomes more pervasive in the fashion design process, the initial stages of text detection and recognition take on pivotal roles. In this study, a lightweight network was designed by building upon existing text detection deep learning models, taking into consideration the unique characteristics of apparel design drawings. Additionally, a separately collected dataset of apparel design drawings was added to train the deep learning model. Experimental results underscore the superior performance of our proposed deep learning model, outperforming existing text detection models by approximately 20% when applied to fashion design sketch images. As a result, this paper is expected to contribute to the Digital Transformation in the field of clothing design by means of research on optimizing deep learning models and detecting specialized text information.

Researching in text detection and segmentation has been done for a long period in the OCR area. However, there is some other area that the text detection and segmentation from images can be very useful. In this report, we first propose the design of a mobile translator system which helps non-native speakers to understand the foreign language using ubiquitous mobile network and camera mobile phones. The main focus of the paper will be the algorithm in detecting and segmenting texts embedded in the natural scenes from taken images. The image, which is captured by a camera mobile phone, is transmitted to a translator server. It is initially passed through some preprocessing processes to smooth the image as well as suppress noises. A threshold is applied to binarize the image. Afterward, an edge detection algorithm and connected component analysis are performed on the filtered image to find edges and segment the components in the image. Finally, the pre-defined layout relation constraints are utilized in order to decide which components likely to be texts in the image. A preliminary experiment was done and the system yielded a recognition rate of 94.44% on a set of 36 various natural scene images that contain texts.
