Text detection in natural scene images using the Stoke Width Transform.

#Gaze Text Detection

This purpose of this project is to explore the possibility of using eye gaza data in order to supplement optical character recognition. I will be implementing the stroke width transform (SWT), which is used for natural text detection.

The idea would be to use gaze data in order to augment the text detection. Implementing a method to detect when a user is reading will allow us to preform the SWT on a perticular video frame and on a specific region of interest, dramatically increasing the effeciency of the text recognition.

I will be using the Tesseract OCR engine for text recognition.
