Abstract
Implementations of the present disclosure provide a solution for text line detection. In this solution, a first text region comprising a first portion of at least a first text element and a second text region comprising a second portion of at least a second text element are determined from an image. A first feature representation is extracted from the first text region and a second feature representation is extracted from the second text region. The first and second feature representations comprise at least one of an image feature representation or a semantic feature representation of the image. A link relationship between the first and second text regions can then be determined based at least in part on the first and second feature representations. The link relationship can indicate whether the first and second portions of the first and second text elements are located in a same text line. In this way, by detecting text regions and determining the link relationship thereof based on their feature representations, the accuracy and efficiency for detecting text lines in various images can be improved
