An updated version of the OpenCV text crop script by Dan Vanderkam on www.danvk.org
#!/usr/bin/env python
'''Crop an image to just the portions containing text.
Usage:
./crop_morphology.py path/to/image.jpg
This will place the cropped image in path/to/image.crop.png.
For details on the methodology, see
http://www.danvk.org/2015/01/07/finding-blocks-of-text-in-an-image-using-python-opencv-and-numpy.html
UPDATE 2017-05-07 by hmmbug:
- Removed dependency on PIL and
- updated for OpenCV 3.2
- tested on python 2.7 (OSX)
