Abstract

Text recognition in a video stream using combined recognition results with per-character weighting. In an embodiment, for each frame in a video stream, a text-recognition result is obtained and a frame weight is calculated. The text-recognition results of the frames are combined by aligning character-recognition results and calculating a character weight for each character-recognition result. At each position in the alignment, the character-recognition results are accumulated based on the character weights and frame weights to produce an accumulated text-recognition result that represents a text field in the video stream.
