Hi Alexandru
I am trying to use ImageMagick to extract strictly
the text area from a photograph of a book page.
Do you mean
(1) extract an image which is the same size as the text area, or
(2) extract the text letter-by-letter
The latter is called Optical Character Recognition, and I do not know of
any such feature within IM.
If you look at the image attached, I am interested in the
green area and, if possible, the red area.
No image attached. Please upload to your web site.
The problem is that it has to be automated and work
for books of various sizes.
Sure.
My idea so far, is:
apply a really crazy filter that would transform the
green area into o big uniform blob, so that I can
then extract its coordinates, and then use those
on the original image.
Sounds reasonable, but also sounds like (1) above.
