Abstract
Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for using prior frame data for OCR processing of frames in video sources to detect natural language text therein. An example includes receiving a frame from a video source and retrieving prior frame data associated with the video source. The OCR-processing includes using prior frame data to detect blobs similar to blobs described in the prior frame data; using detected similar blobs to detect in the frame character candidates similar to character candidates described in the prior frame data; using detected similar character candidates to detect in the frame text candidates similar to text candidates described in the prior frame data; and using detected similar text candidates to detect in the frame text strings similar to text strings described in the prior frame data.
