Abstract
A digitized image that consists of text strings and uniformly distributed background symbols must be segmented if the characters in the text string are to be recognized. This paper describes the development and implementation of a morphological approach to character string extraction from overlapping text/background images that minimizes the shape distortion of characters. The effectiveness of this algorithm is demonstrated on several test images.
