Abstract

A method and system for segmenting touching text lines in an image of a uchen-script Tibetan historical document are provided. The method includes: first obtaining a binary image of a uchen-script Tibetan historical document after layout analysis; detecting local baselines in the binary image, to generate a local baseline information set; detecting and segmenting a touching region in the binary image according to the local baseline information set, to generate a touching-region-segmented image; allocating connected components in the touching-region-segmented image to corresponding lines, to generate a text line allocation result; and splitting text lines in the touching-region-segmented image according to the text line allocation result, to generate a line-segmented image. In the present disclosure, touching text lines in a Tibetan historical document can be effectively segmented, and text line segmentation efficiency of the Tibetan historical document is improved.
