It’s the objective of this present work to represent a method resolving the two inconvenient. First, the border between the text and its shade should be determined utilizing a connected component analysis based noise reduction method. Second, the discovered borders are compared with the previously standardized letters edges and then the current text is identifiable. The method is experienced at several pages and results are displayed. ER -
