The paper presents the algorithm for text line segmentation based on the oriented anisotropic Gaussian kernel. Initially, the document image is split into connected components achieved by bounding boxes. These connected components are cleared from redundant fragments. Furthermore, the binary moments are applied to each of these connected components evaluating local text skewing. According to this information the orientation of the anisotropic Gaussian kernel is set. After the algorithm application the boundary growing areas around connected components are established. These areas are of major importance for the evaluation of text line segmentation. For testing purposes, the algorithm is evaluated under different text samples. Comparative analysis between algorithm with and without orientation based on the anisotropic Gaussian kernel is made. The results show the improvement in the domain of text line segmentation.

The variety of image quality of old Sundanese documents can be a real challenge for the process of text line segmentation. This paper describes the results of the investigation of two text line segmentation methods against several collections of Sunda document images, ie projection profile method and Seam Carving method. The deep investigation is done on handwritten documents written on lontar and paper media. The comparative experimental study was used as an investigative methodology in this study. Both methods is tested their performance capability on colored images and binary images using the evaluation matrix provided in handwriting segmentation competition ICDAR 2013. Experimental results show that projection profile method can work optimally on binary image and the type of writing is relatively horizontal. While the Seam Carving method is able to segment the lines in a non-linear manner and produce performance above 80%. With the added of binarization process in the pre-processing stage, the performance of Seam Carving method can increase up to 99% and the number of segmented lines is close to the number of groundtruth lines.
