Abstract

Captions in videos are important and accurate clues for video retrieval. In this paper, we propose a fast and robust video caption detection and localization algorithm to handle low quality video images. First, the stroke response maps from complex background are extracted by a stoke filter. Then, two localization algorithms are used to locate thin stroke and thick stroke caption regions respectively. Finally, a HOG based SVM classifier is carried out on the detected results to further remove noises. Experimental results show the superior performance of our proposed method compared with existing work in terms of accuracy and speed.
