title: Text Detection: Getting Bounding boxes
body: <p>I have a black and white image, of a text document. I want to be able to get a list of the bounding boxes for each character. I have attempted an algorithm myself, but it takes excessively long, and is only somewhat successful. Are there any python libraries I can use to find the bounding box? I've been looking into opencv but the documentation is hard to follow. And in this <a href="https://docs.opencv.org/3.1.0/d3/db4/tutorial_py_watershed.html" rel="noreferrer">tutorial</a> I can't even decipher whether the bounding boxes were found because I can't easily find what the functions actually do.</p>
