CDS540 Text Detection from Images Using OpenCV

CDS540 Assignment 1 - Text Detection from Images
Task objective
The objective of this assignment is to use Google Colab, Jupyter Notebook, or any other suitable tool to detect text from images using OpenCV. This will help you understand the concepts of fundamental Computer Vision algorithms and techniques, evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of computer vision systems, and apply and implement these tools and techniques. Task description:
1.Setup Environment:
oUse Google Colab, Jupyter Notebook, or any other platform you are comfortable with.
oEnsure that OpenCV and other necessary libraries are installed.
2.Load an Image:
oLoad a sample image containing text. You can use images from various sources like scanned documents, street signs, or any image with clear text.
3.Pre-process the Image:
oConvert the image to grayscale.
oApply necessary image processing techniques like thresholding, blurring, or edge detectio
