Hello guys, iam new at ImageMagick and i want to remove lines from this image (that is a window capture from application in Windows).
My goal at all is to extract the text from the image because i wanna OCR the image.
With all this lines making boxes the OCR doesnt recognize the all image.
I tried "textcleaner" with some variants but the result wasnt satisfatory, maybe because im not doing it right.
Anyway, i need some help here.
Thanks adv.

Obs: Blanks are deletions made by me.

If the window borders are the same widths in every case, removing them with IM would be an easy task, probably most simply done with the "-shave" operator. . The exact commands would depend on which version of ImageMagick you're using and what platform or OS you're running it on. Have you tried anything yet, and if so, what were the commands and the results?

Ok, thanks for the tip!
I will try this and others commands that i will Google for and i will post the results here.
Thanks!

The only text in your image is yellow on a blue background. So the obvious solution is to turn all black or gray pixels to white.

I do not see any text. Do you want any text that is added to the large white area? If so please show an example. Do you want only the white 0 and 1 characters in the blue boxes. Please explain better what you want.

Please, always provide your IM version and platform when asking questions, since syntax may differ. Also provide your exact command line and if possible your images.
