LEADTOOLS Image Segmentation SDK

With LEADTOOLS .NET, WPF, C/C++ and web developers have several different ways to automatically segment images that contain text and image regions. Image segmentation is important for improving OCR Recognition rates and compression efficiency within complex formats such as LEAD MRC, standard MRC T.44, and PDF.

Overview of LEADTOOLS Image Segmentation SDK Technology

Image Segmentation for OCR Pre-Processing

LEADTOOLS OCR SDK technology automatically (using LEAD's AutoZone technology) detects different zones types such as text, graphic and table in an image. Image segmentation is an important step in OCR pre-processing to improve the recognition results. OCR image segmentation auto zoning functionality is also exposed to developers to use in any application that needs to automatically separate images, tables and text within mixed raster content (MRC) images.

Image Segmentation for Compression

LEADTOOLS includes mixed raster content (MRC) image segmentation technology to optimize compression for images that consist of both text and color images. Standard compression schemes work well when an image is entirely comprised of either text or color elements. The MRC compression scheme segments images into text and color segment types and compresses each segment independently. This results in both high compression factors while retaining important image detail.
