Text segmentation in architecture floorplans

Question

For a complete floor plan analysis, text segmentation from the other graphic image is the crucial part. I have tried tesseract but it isn't that great, its because the text is in different orientations. I want the text to be separated as a layer with same dimensions as the floor plan image? Any suggestions how to do this?

thanks in advance....... :)

What have you tried so far? You should add your code in the question description. — Adeel Ahmad, Jun 16 '17 at 07:04
This is too broad. If you give sample images of controlled environments we might be able to help. How to perform text segmentation is not a valid question, it is too broad to be answereable in SO. — Imanol Luengo, Jun 16 '17 at 07:18

As you ask without code, doing the same for this answer. A possible strategy would be to:

Use e.g. opencv to identify where text is.
- In the example you give, you see that text is either within a room or on the outside as measurement.
- Also, it are by far the thickest lines
Crop these regions
Turn the regions if height > width
Use Tesseract
