Jiri Matas @cite Neumann11. The main idea behind Class-specific Extremal Regions is similar to the MSER
in that suitable Extremal Regions (ERs) are selected from the whole component tree of the image.
However, this technique differs from MSER in that selection of suitable ERs is done by a sequential
classifier trained for character detection, i.e. dropping the stability requirement of MSERs and

After the ER filtering is done on each input channel, character candidates must be grouped in
high-level text blocks (i.e. words, text lines, paragraphs, ...). The opencv_text module implements
two different grouping algorithms: the Exhaustive Search algorithm proposed in [Neumann11] for

Create an Extremal Region Filter for the 1st stage classifier of N&M algorithm
Neumann L., Matas J.: Real-Time Scene Text Localization and Recognition, CVPR 2012
The component tree of the image is extracted by a threshold increased step by step
from 0 to 255, incrementally computable descriptors (aspect_ratio, compactness,
number of holes, and number of horizontal crossings) are computed for each ER
and used as features for a classifier which estimates the class-conditional
probability P(er|character). The value of P(er|character) is tracked using the inclusion
relation of ER across all thresholds and only the ERs which correspond to local maximum
of the probability P(er|character) are selected (if the local maximum of the
probability is above a global limit pmin and the difference between local maximum and
local minimum is greater than minProbabilityDiff).

@param thresholdDelta Threshold step in subsequent thresholds when extracting the component tree
