Abstract
A method includes receiving a binary annotation of source text; performing a close operation on the binary annotation to generate a closed annotation using an initial kernel size; defining one or more contours in the closed annotation using one or more bounding boxes, respectively; determining a subset of the one or more contours for which a percentage of area occupied by text within a corresponding bounding box exceeds a threshold; and generating a final annotation of the source text based on the subset of the one or more contours.
