System and method for language translation of character strings occurring in captured image data

摘要

A system and method capable of performing language translation of a graphical representation of a first language character string within captured image data of a natural image by extracting image data corresponding to the graphical representation of the text from the captured image data. The extracted graphical representation is then converted into first language encoded character data that, in turn, is translated into a second language data. The translated text and the captured image can then be displayed together by overlaying the translated text over the graphical representation of the character string in the captured image.
