Text Extraction from Palm-Leaf Manuscript Images using Mathematic Morphological Techniques

Abstract
This paper presents mathematic morphology-based text extraction from palm-leaf manuscript images. Palm leaf manuscript images are a valuable resource for human historical. Mostly palm-leaf manuscripts were decayed by improper collection. To obtain the knowledge from the manuscript image, text extraction process is needed. The proposed method consists of artifact removal, line thickness and line connected using set of dilation and erosion with difference mask sizes. The proposed method shows better accuracy and readable of extracted text in which leads to more successful in the recognition step in the future. Keywords - Palm-Leaf Manuscript, Extract, Morphology
