    Thanks @R. S. Nikhil Krishna !! If i use your code for the image (not skewed) of the receipt (see above in the question). I do not get a good segmentation. Question. which parameters should i tune? The convex hull? Thanks in advance! Commented Nov 14, 2016 at 10:35
  • @donpresente I've made the changes. The reason it was not detecting the characters was because the image size was too small. MSER requires significant spacing between characters. That can be achieved by simply resizing the images Commented Nov 17, 2016 at 11:38

    Nikhil Krishna. I think we have a winner! :) any other advice on the segmentation? Because a "hand made" model could require to divde each character individually right? Should i force a grid on the text? Commented Nov 17, 2016 at 12:55
  • By a hand made model, do you mean manually tuned parameters? And a grid might be slightly problematic because the characters are not equal in size. Commented Nov 18, 2016 at 7:38
