prospects for English-Japanese or Chinese-

Performing the alignment task as imageprocessing
proves to be an effective ... Hough transform always detect the most
apparent line segments even in a noisy dotplot.
Before applying Hough transform, the same
processes of normalization and thresholding are
performed first....

Background
An important characteristic underlying the design of imageprocessing sys-
tems is ... acquiring an image of the area containing the text, preprocessing
that image, extracting (segmenting) the individual characters, describing the
characters in a form suitable for computer processing, ... ImageProcessing Toolbox,

needed to implement the image...
