The following diagram shows how sections connect to each other to form tasks:

In this article, we’ll discuss the section Text-line Recognition which is usually the 3rd section of a “Recognize-Text-Lines” task.

Section 3 - Text-line Recognition

The purpose of this section is to recognize the text from the text-line areas identified in the previous section “Text-line Localization”.

Constituting Stages

This section consists of the following stages:

1. Cropping: to cut out the text-line areas based on text-line localization results. This results in one or multiple colour images.
2. Grayscaling: to convert the colour image(s) to grayscale.
3. Transforming: to transform the grayscale image(s).
4. Text-line-recognizing: to recognize the text.

Output and Parameters

Each of these stages has its own output (known as an intermediate result) and usually a specific parameter that can regulate the operation:
