This proposed method is an accurate and strong method for detecting texts in natural scene images. There are many cases that text regions are not clearly noTable.by background regions due to brightness or illumination variations. The proposed scene text finding process finds out the scene text contents from the natural scene images using the sophisticated edge revealing methods, the local directional number feature and linked map generation process. This proposed method takes natural scene image as input and detects the scene text regions. The detected scene text regions are marked for visual identification for human eyes.

The proposed scene text finding process finds out the scene text contents from the natural scene images using the sophisticated edge revealing methods, the local directional number feature and linked map generation process. This proposed method takes natural scene image as input and detects the scene text regions. The detected scene text regions are marked for visual identification for human eyes.
