We found a good number of papers regarding finding text in images. A common problem among these papers, however, is the general lack of details in regards to their methods and/or uses parameters and thresholds. Other methods use Simple Vector Machines and other Machine Learning techniques, for which we do not have the required data to train them, nor the knowledge on how to use them properly. Our last hope lies with a method presented as the Stroke Width Transform. We found a C++ implementation of a variation of this method, and are currently testing to see if we can use it.
