An electronic device ( 1100 ) and a method for character segmentation ( 100 ) includes an image analyzer ( 1110 ) that generates individual character images. The image analyzer binarizes ( 115 ) a gray scale image ( 200 ) of a horizontal row of characters by using a general threshold method to generate a first image ( 300 ). The image analyzer also binarizes ( 120 ) the gray scale image using an edge detection method to generate a second image ( 405 ). The image analyzer determines ( 125 ) a character row region ( 425 ) of the second image by using horizontal projection analysis. The image analyzer isolates ( 130 ) the character row region of the first image using the character row region of the second image. The image analyzer uses the character row region to generate ( 135 ) individual character images. The electronic device may include an image capture device ( 1105 ) and a character recognition program ( 1115 ).
