Abstract

In this paper we present a study of four segmentation algorithms with the aim of extracting characters from containers. We compare their performance using images acquired under real conditions and using results of human operators as a model to check their capabilities. We modified the algorithms to adapt them to our needs. Our aim is obtaining a segmentation of the image which contains all, or as much as possible, characters of the container’s code; no matter how many other non relevant objects may appear; as irrelevant objects may be filtered out by applying other techniques afterwards. This work is part of a higher order project whose aim is the automation of the entrance gate of a port.
