Text in video and images is an extremely valuable feature to extract brief knowledge of video or image. But sometimes those text components feel unnecessary, and so various methods have been proposed till a day to detect, and remove the text out of video. This paper performs an extensive survey of various techniques available for text detection and removal from video and images automatically to create visually plausible output like videos/images without any of the embedded text.
