Title
Active contours network to straighten distorted text lines
Abstract
In this paper we introduce a new method to straighten text lines. The general approach consists in using an active contour network based on an analytical model. First, we propose a method based on Bezier curves; then we present a model that requires cubic B-splines which leads to more accurate results. Finally we propose to automate the initialization by using an approach based on a particle system. The methods proposed in this paper are illustrated on real images of curved text.
