Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science, University of Akron, Computer Science.
This paper explores the existing methods used for text extraction, touching upon existing OCR techniques, and then describes a novel technique for information extraction based upon seam carving. Modifications needed to adapt the seam carving process to the new problem domain are explained. Then, two output methods, direct area detection and information masking, are described. Finally, potential modifications to the technique, which could make it suitable for use in other domains such as general computer vision or bioinformatics, are discussed.
