Abstract: In this paper, the work done includes the extraction of information from image datasets which contain natural text. The difficulty level of segmenting natural text from an image is too high and so precision is the most important factor to be kept in mind. To minimize the error rates, error filtration technique is provided, as filtration is adopted while doing image segmentation basically text segmentation present in images. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of two different text segmentation algorithms namely C99 and TopicTiling on image documents is presented. To assess how well each algorithm works, each was applied on different datasets and results were compared. The work done also proves the efficiency of TopicTiling over C99.

Keywords: Text Segmentation, text extraction, image documents,C99 and TopicTiling.
