Abstract

A text image processing method and a text image processing apparatus are provided. In some embodiments, a text image processing method includes: preprocessing a text image to obtain a binary image, where the binary image includes multiple connected regions; acquiring a convex hull corresponding to each of the connected regions with a convex hull algorithm; acquiring a character region circumscribing the convex hull; performing character segmentation on the acquired character region to obtain multiple character blocks; and merging the character blocks based on heights of the character blocks to obtain word blocks of the text image.
