An often used preprocessing step in text recognition systems is text line detection. The aim of this internship is to implement an existing method for text line detection.

Goal

Implement an existing method, which is introduced in [1].  Compare the results of your implementation with results gained in the original work.

Workflow

Literature review
Data preparation
Implementation
Written Report/Thesis and final presentation
