I have a document image, which might be a newspaper or magazine. For example, a scanned newspaper. I want to remove all/most text and keep images in the document. Anyone know how to detect text region in the document? Below is an example. Thanks in advance!

Try using the ocr function in the Computer Vision System Toolbox.

Actually, ocr supports many languages. But it does require the Computer Vision System Toolbox.

If you don't want to use the Computer Vision System Toolbox, see this: http://www.visionbib.com/bibliography/contentschar.html#OCR,%20Document%20Analysis%20and%20Character%20Recognition%20Systems for a bunch of algorithms that can handle it in many languages. You'd have to write the code for those papers - we don't have any code for any of them.
