TEXT DETECTION AND CHARACTER RECOGNITION USING FUZZY IMAGE PROCESSING

when the text and background colors are very similar, and also if it may create an area of negative text. The negative text may be treated as a graphic region which may affect the system efficiency. The presented approach will take each color alone. This will make the merge between the text and the background unlikely to happen. Also there will be no negative text in the whole image because the negative text to a color will be normal text for another. The shown and discussed results will show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm and how it is different compared with other algorithms.
