General presentation of the field

Automatic text localization in natural images (still or moving) is an essential task in many applications, including automatic indexing of documents or photographs, the dematerialization of paper-based documents, assistance to visually impaired people, etc..

Prerequisites

Skills in image processing and pattern recognition are necessary for the realization of this internship. The candidate should be familiar with the C + + language. The work to be performed must be integrated into Olena, the free software platform for image processing of the LRDE written in C + +.

Objectives

The context is the analysis of video sequences containing text elements. Once localized, it may be necessary to remove the text following the desired application. The goal of this internship is to remove text in video sequences, especially subtitles. The video images without the text will then be reconstructed thanks to the technique of video inpainting.
