Abstract
One of the key difficulties of computer vision is the localization and retrieval of words or phrases from natural scene images. It is a technique that is used to recognize and isolate the desired text from the images. There are researchers who explored this field and concluded with good results, they mainly concentrated on the English language, but there is a need to work on local/regional languages, Country like India is having a vast portion of the rural area so there is a need to highlight the different Indian languages and also addresses the official scripts and their Unicode ranges. In this paper, various detection or recognition approaches are highlighted especially for the scene images containing South Indian languages.
