Abstract
A string extraction method for an image based on multiple stroke width patterns matching is provided. The string extraction method includes matching each possible stroke width pattern with an input image for obtaining the similarities between the width patterns and each pixel, wherein the integrated similarity between each pixel and the stroke width patterns is namely an integrated computing result of all similarities between the pixel and all stroke width patterns.
