PT Unknown AU Lluis Gomez Dimosthenis Karatzas TI MSER-based Real-Time Text Detection and Tracking BT 22nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition PY 2014 BP 3110 EP 3115 DI 10.1109/ICPR.2014.536 AB We present a hybrid algorithm for detection and tracking of text in natural scenes that goes beyond the fulldetection approaches in terms of time performance optimization.A state-of-the-art scene text detection module based on Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER) is used to detect text asynchronously, while on a separate thread detected text objects are tracked by MSER propagation. The cooperation of these two modules yields real time video processing at high frame rates even on low-resource devices. ER
