  Extraction and recognition of Bangla text from video frame images is
challenging due to complex color background, low-resolution etc. In this paper,
we propose an algorithm for extraction and recognition of Bangla text form such
video frames with complex background. Here, a two-step approach has been
proposed. First, the text line is segmented into words using information based
on line contours. First order gradient value of the text blocks are used to
find the word gap. Next, a local binarization technique is applied on each word
and text line is reconstructed using those words. Secondly, this binarized text
block is sent to OCR for recognition purpose.
