Abstract

This paper presents an algorithm to segment text and picture in an image using two features based on the statistical distribution of the wavelet coefficients in high frequency bands. The algorithm breaks the image into blocks and classifies every block as background, text or picture according to the two features. The block size is variable so that the segmentation can be accurate at the boundary of two types and avoids misclassifying due to over-localized region analysis.
