Please help me in segmenting the Hindi text into number of lines and words and characters

Hi,

I have attached a Hindi text . How can I divide into number of lines,words and characters using

regionprops function in MATLAB.

I have written the code like this, where is the error

clc;
clear all;
a=imread('D:/sahoo/sample.jpg');
%figure,imshow(a)
b=rgb2gray(a);
%Igray1=medfilt2(b);
Ibw = im2bw(b,graythresh(b));
[m n] = size(Ibw);
Ibw2=~Ibw;

Iedge = edge(uint8(Ibw)); 
imshow(Iedge)
se = strel('square',2); 
Iedge2 = imdilate(Iedge, se); 
imshow(Iedge2); 
%Image Filling
Ifill= imfill(Iedge2,'holes'); 
imshow(Ifill)
Ilabel = bwlabel(Ifill); 
%disp(num); 
Ibox = regionprops(Ilabel,'BoundingBox'); 
Ibox(1)
%Ibox = [Iprops.BoundingBox];
%Ibox = reshape(Ibox,[4 15]); 

imshow(Ibw2)
hold on; 
for cnt = 1:53 
    rectangle('position',Ibox(:,cnt),'edgecolor','r');
end

We help with MATLAB programming, not OCR algorithm development. Go here: http://iris.usc.edu/Vision-Notes/bibliography/contentschar.html#OCR,%20Document%20Analysis%20and%20Character%20Recognition%20Systems and pick a published algorithm that might be better than yours. If you really want to continue using yours you'll have to upload your picture so we can try your code.
