  • receiving an electronic image for analysis;

    performing an edge-detection algorithm on the electronic image;

    identifying closed contours in the electronic image as a function of detected edges;

    establishing links between closed components;

    identifying candidate text lines as a function of the identified closed contours;

    classifying candidate text lines as being text or non-text regions; and

    outputting, via a graphical user interface (GUI), verified text regions in the electronic image to a user.
