 ==================
 
 Experiments in text localization and detection in raw manga scans. Mostly using OpenCV python API.
+
+
+Overview
+--------
+This repository holds some experiments I did in summer 2013 during a sudden interest in text detection in images. It uses some standard techniques (run length smoothing, connected component analysis) and some experimental stuff. Overal, I was able to get in the neighborhood of where I wanted to be, but the results are very processing intensive and not terribly reliable.
+
+State
+-----
+I haven't bothered to form this into a python library. It's just a series of scripts each trying out various things, such as:
+* Isolating bounding boxes for text areas on a raw manga page.
+* Identifying ares of furigana text (pronunciation guide, which can screw up OCR) in text bounding boxes.
+* Preparing identified text areas for basic OCR.
+
+
+Example
+-------
+Here's an example run of a page from Weekly Young Magazine #31 2013. The input image is as follows (jpg).
