All these variations appear assignificant challenges for the detection and recognition algorithms that are consideredfor the text in natural scenes. In this paper, a new intelligent text detection andrecognition method for detectingthe text from natural scenes and forrecognizingthe text by applying the newly proposed Conditional Random Field-based fuzzyrules incorporated Convolutional Neural Network (CR-CNN) has been proposed.Moreover, we have recommended a new text detection method for detecting theexact text from the input natural scene images. For enhancing the presentation ofthe edge detection process, image pre-processing activities such as edge detectionand color modeling have beenapplied in this work. In addition, we have generatednew fuzzy rules for making effective decisions on the processes of text detectionand recognition. The experiments have been directedusing the standard benchmark datasets such as the ICDAR 2003, the ICDAR 2011, the ICDAR2005 and the SVT and have achieved better detection accuracy intext detectionand recognition. By using these three datasets, five different experiments havebeen conducted for evaluating the proposed model. And also, we have comparedthe proposed system with the other classifiers such as the SVM, the MLP and theCNN. In these comparisons, the proposed model has achieved better classificationaccuracywhen compared with the other existing works.展开更多
