Abstract
This specification discloses a system of using a neural network to distinguish text and pictures in an image and the method thereof. Using the knowledge of text recognition learned by the neural network in advance, images data of color brightness and gray levels in an image block are processed to generate a greatest text faith value. The system determines the text status of the image block by comparing a text threshold with the greatest text faith value. If the greatest text faith value is larger than the text threshold, then the image block is determined to contain text pixels; otherwise, the image block contains purely picture pixels. This achieves the goal of separating text and pictures in an image.
