1. Method for recognizing text in a captured imagery having a plurality of frames, said method using a processor to perform steps comprising of:

  • (a) detecting a text region in a first frame of the plurality of frames;

    (b) applying, using the processor, optical character recognition processing (OCR) to said detected text region to identify potential text for said first frame; and

    (c) agglomerating the potential text with potential text for at least a second frame of the plurality of frames, in a manner that takes an OCR result from each of the first frame and the at least said second frame, to produce a single recognition result for text in the detected text region.
