Text Confining and Extraction in Image Using Mathematical Morphology

Extraction of text from an image having complex background is much difficult and a challenging task. Text in any image contains very useful information. Due to difference in style, size, alignment and complex background, text extraction becomes a challenging task. In this paper we confine and extract text characters from an image. To get the text character from an image, we use mathematical morphology. It is a technique used for the analysis and processing of geometrical structures.
