Abstract

This paper presents an effective text-line segmentation algorithm and evaluates its performance on Uyghur handwritten text document images. Projection based adaptive threshold selection mechanism is implemented to detect and segment the text lines with different valued thresholds. The robustness of the proposed algorithm is admirable that experiments on 210 Uyghur handwritten document image including 2570 text lines got correct segmentation by 97.70% precision and 99.01% recall rate and outperformed the compared classic text-line segmentation algorithm on same evaluation set.

Keywords: Text line segmentation Adaptive thresholding Offline Uyghur handwritten documents
