Find a Text in Image File Using Correlation Method

Image correlation is representative of a wide variety of window-based image processing tasks. We can be search for text/ word in documents with extension as DOC, PDF, TXT … etc., and count the number of it in document or in the page. the difficulty in this process when we are keeping this documents in the form of images and any extension such as(jpg, bmp, … etc.), thus lead to difficulty in the search for a word in those images, as some peoples depend on convert the document to image file in order to keep document from manipulation or making copies of them. This study introduces method by using V.B. and depends on correlation method in search for "word" or "symbol" in image files. Index Terms- image correlation, image processing, V.B, search.
