This is a contour-based text detection module implemented by Marius Renn | |
during his internship with the OCR group at 2006. The algorithm is designed | |
to be light-weight and targeted for the Android platform, with the intention | |
of open-sourcing it in the future. | |
All the Google and Android specific codes can be found in | |
