  ABSTRACT: Extraction of the text data present in images involves Text detection, Text localization, Text tracking, Text extraction, Text Enhancement and Text Recognition. Due to its inherent complexity, traditional text localization algorithms in natural scenes, especially in multi-context scenes, are not implementable under low computational resources architectures such as mobile phones. In this paper, we proposed a simple method to automatically localize signboard texts within JPEG mobile phone camera images. Taking into account the information provided by the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) used by the JPEG compression format, we delimitate the borders of the most importanttext region. This system is simple, reliable, affordable, easily implementable, and quick evenworking under architectures with low computational resources.
