I've actually been looking for something related. I need to quickly classify if an image contains a face and also if it contains any text. The former seems to be relatively straightforward, but I haven't found anything for detecting text, only OCR'ing it which I don't need. Anyone seen anything like this?
- cokernel 11y agoI haven't tested this, but the package https://github.com/subokita/Robust-Text-Detection https://github.com/subokita/Robust-Text-Detection apparently implements methods described in the paper "Robust Text Detection in Natural Images with Edge-Enhanced Maximally Stable Extremal Regions." by Chen, Huizhong, et al. (http://web.stanford.edu/~hchen2/papers/ICIP2011_RobustTextDetection.pdf http://web.stanford.edu/~hchen2/papers/ICIP2011_RobustTextDe...), which sounds like it might be the sort of thing you want. In particular, the figure on the first page of the paper shows detection (not OCR) of a textual logo in a photo.
- IgorPartola 11y agoAwesome, thanks! This should be fairly easy to wrap for Python I think.
