Segmentation and Text extraction from Document Images: Survey

Segmentation and text extraction from complex document image helps in analyzing, storing, retrieving and auto indexing of required information. In this paper, we considered 23 existing methods of segmentation and text extraction for complex document images. After review of the existing methods, we found that connected component method [1],[2],[5],[8],[10],[13] are more suitable for segmentation of text and non-text from document and also LSTM &RNN found that potential methods for extraction of text from complex document[15].
