Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to a system and a method for detection of touching characters in a media, characterized by segmentation of adjoining character spaces. In the very first step, an aspect ratio is calculated for each connected component. A candidate touching position of each character is determined by calculating a threshold aspect ratio for each character. Further, a candidate cut column is determined based on a relation between column pixel densities and corresponding length thereof the column in order to segment the touching characters at the candidate cut column.
