In this study, an efficient text localization system using bendlet transform is presented. Among the various multi-resolution and multi-directional analysis, bendlet transform has superior property that they classify the curvature precisely. To achieve this property, it uses an addition parameter than shearlets called bending operator.&nbsp; The system decomposes the scene images by bendlet transform and then reconstructs using the bands which contains only the edge information. Then, a series of post processing is applied to locate the text region in a scene image. Results show the robustness of the text localization system by successfully locating the text region in the scene images with different background and non-uniform text sizes.</p> ER -
