Application ID: 14338216

Base Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: detecting, by a processor, text components in an image, each of the text components comprising a different respective portion of the image identified as likely containing text; generating, by the processor, text lines between pairs of the text components; matching, by the processor, a first text line of the text lines with a set of the text components based on features of the text components of the set and based on reducing a total number of matched text lines; and recognizing, by the processor, text from the set of the text components based on the first text line.

Claim 7:
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein matching the first text line with the set of the text components comprises: assigning a first set of text lines to the text components; assigning a second set of text lines to the text components; determining that a total number of text lines in the first set is smaller than a total number of text lines in the second set; and selecting the first set of text lines as the matched lines, wherein the first text line is a text line of the first set of lines.
