Published:17 April 2024Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper proposes a method for segmenting examination paper questions from the perspective of intelligent image processing. In terms of image preprocessing, firstly, the black area in the examination paper is extracted using the OTSU and adaptive threshold segmentation methods, followed by the extraction of edge contours using the sobel operator. To obtain the text and illustrations in the paper more accurately and completely, the contours are further enhanced using morphological operation to determine the areas containing the question items. Regarding the segmentation of the examination paper questions, the question areas are selected based on their aspect ratios, thus excluding the parts of option or illustration. Finally, a complete examination paper questions is determined by analyzing the top, bottom, left and right edge of the two adjacent questions areas, each complete question is segmented and displayed using rectangular bounding boxes.
