ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for detecting text associated with video are provided. The method of detecting the text of the video includes reading a t-th frame (where t is a positive integer) among frames forming the video as a current frame, determining whether there is a text area detected from a previous frame which is a (t−N)-th (where N is a positive integer) frame among the frames forming the video, in the current frame, and upon determining that there is no text area detected from the previous frame in the current frame, detecting the text area in the entire current frame. Upon determining that there is the text area detected from the previous frame in the current frame, the text area is detected from a remaining area obtained by excluding from the current frame an area corresponding to the text area detected from the previous frame. Whether there is a text area in a next frame which is a (t+N)-th frame among the frames forming the video is verified.
