PURPOSE: An apparatus for separating text region using geographic text characteristics information and a method therefor are provided to detect characteristic points of texts and collect the detected points. CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for separating text region using geographic text characteristics information includes a geographic text characteristics separator/candidate region separator(110) and a candidate region prover(120). The geographic text characteristics separator/candidate region separator(110) detects the geographic characteristics of text of an input image from outside and defines the candidate region.
