Abstract
Segmentation of the text lines in an un-constrained handwritten documents still a challenging task because handwritten text lines are often un-uniformly skewed and curved, and the space between lines is not obvious. In this paper, we propose a text-line segmentation algorithm based on clustering using threshold. The connected components of document image are grouped, from which text-lines are extracted dynamically by coloring all the text-lines.
