How can I possibly crop the image using C# and Image Processing Techniques so I could only get the Rounded Rectangular area with the recipient's details, the fastest way possible?

As of now, I'm using AForge.NET, and I'm still stuck at using Histogram Equalization as shown:

I would start with the otsu threshold (link):

After, you can do blob detection, iterate through all detected blobs and merge two blobs whether the distance between any of its edges is less than some fixed value. This will give you two blobs, one containing address information and second containing "if undelivered...". You chose the blob with the greatest area.

  • Thank you for the assistance, Sir Marol. I'll follow this technique from now on to avoid time-consuming edge detection filters. – JD Rose May 23 '14 at 03:36
