Abstract
In some implementations, legibility of an image may be automatically determined based, at least in part, on text contained in the image. For example, image analysis techniques may be used to identify text components in an image. One or more features of each text component may be determined for use in assessing the legibility of the text component. For example, a classifier trained on the one or more features may provide a confidence level indicative of the legibility of each text component. The confidence level for each of the text components may be compared to a legibility threshold for determining whether the text component is legible or illegible. Based, at least in part, on the determination as to how much of the text in the image is legible or illegible, an overall legibility of the image may be assessed.
