Abstract
An approach to identifying text within an image may be presented. The approach can receive an image. The approach can classify an image on a pixel-by-pixel basis whether the pixel is text. The approach can generate bounding boxes around groups of pixels that are classified as text. The approach can mask sections of an image that where pixels are not classified as text. The approach may be used as a pre-processing technique for optical character recognition in documents, scanned images, or still images.
