Hi i want the segmentation code in matlab
I was wondering if u could provide me the code for above mentioned subject
i need these code for document segmentation
is there any code available for word segmentation using matlab
is there any code available for word segmentation using matlab

Abstract
Segmentation of line, word and character are one of the critical phases of optical character recognition (OCR). Due to the imperfection in segmentation, most of the recognition system produce poor recognition rate. In this paper we are discussing some novel approach for line, word and character segmentation of printed Manipuri document. Few works has been done for optical character recognition on other Indian script however in case of Manipuri language it is almost negligible. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report on segmentation of documents containing Manipuri script forms. So keeping these things in mind here, in this paper we are discussing some approach to succeed in the above mentioned task. Here first we are discussing about the structure of Manipuri language, and then we discuss some idea for segmentation of line, word and character from degraded Manipuri document. Finally we discuss about various existing recognition technique.
Introduction
Segmentation of a text-document into lines, words and characters, which is considered to be the crucial preprocessing stage in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is traditionally carried out on uncompressed documents, although most of the documents in real life are available in compressed form, for the reasons such as transmission and storage efficiency. However, this implies that the compressed image should be decompressed, which indents additional computing resources. This limitation has motivated us to take up research in document image analysis using compressed documents. In this paper, we think in a new way to carry out segmentation at line, word and character level in run-length compressed printed-text-documents. We extract the horizontal projection profile curve from the compressed file and using the local minima points perform line segmentation. However, tracing vertical information which leads to tracking words-characters in a run-length compressed file is not very straight forward. Therefore, we propose a novel technique for carrying out simultaneous word and character segmentation by popping out column runs from each row in an intelligent sequence. The proposed algorithms have been validated with 1101 text-lines, 1409 words and 7582 characters from a data-set of 35 noise and skew free compressed documents of Bengali, Kannada and English Scripts.
