Abstract
The present disclosure relates to optical character recognition, and more specifically techniques for detecting font size in a digital image. Accordingly to one embodiment, a client device receives a digital image of a document having one or more textual components. The client device finds one or more contours bounding the one or more textual components in the digital image of the document. The client device detects a font size for text contained in the digital image using the one or more contours. The client device extracts the text from the digital image upon detecting that the detected font size is above a defined threshold value.
