Extraction of Data from Limnigraf Chart Images

  • Conference paper
Image Processing and Communications Challenges 5

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 233))

Summary

This article presents a system of data extraction from limnograph chart images. Proposed system will be composed of five main modules that are: extraction of axis and grid, text detection, graph vectorization, calibrations and read data using image content analysis algorithms. In the paper the fundamental characteristics of the system are presented including the simplified scheme of system modules.
