This program is used to detect text (labels, words) in images (especially handwritten maps).

The three main challenges are described on the following pages:

• [Image Processing](wiki/Image Processing)
• [Feature Detection](wiki/Feature Detection)
• [Feature Linking](wiki/Feature Linking)

To detect text in a new image, a new TextDetector has to be implemented. A detailed description is provided in the howto page.

Some suggestions how the detection can be improved are written on this [page](wiki/Possible Improvements).
