Recognition of multilingual text from signage boards

This paper presents a text detection approach based on Stroke Width Transform (SWT) and methodology to extract letter candidates. Major application focus here is tourism industry and local transport, to help people to deal with different Indian languages which involve text associated with natural scenes in the local public places. Multilingual text system supports curvy letters with different scale, size, direction, font and language. This method can significantly perform for different Indian Languages and results are tested based on ICDAR 2015 dataset and different user Test dataset.
