Text Recognition in natural scene images is becoming a prominent research area and is promoting several new applications such as; car plate recognition, reading aid for the blind, tour guide systems and many more. Text recognition at word/character level is one of the key steps for development of such applications. In this work, a novel method for recognizing Kannada words in scene images is proposed. The proposed method uses zone wise horizontal and vertical profile based features. The system is efficient and insensitive to variations in size and style, noise, blur and other degradations.
