The End is Nigh: Generic Solving of Text-based CAPTCHAs
@inproceedings{Bursztein2014TheEI, title={The End is Nigh: Generic Solving of Text-based CAPTCHAs}, author={Elie Bursztein and Jonathan Aigrain and A. Moscicki and J. Mitchell}, booktitle={WOOT}, year={2014} }
Over the last decade, it has become well-established that a captcha's ability to withstand automated solving lies in the difficulty of segmenting the image into individual characters. The standard approach to solving captchas automatically has been a sequential process wherein a segmentation algorithm splits the image into segments that contain individual characters, followed by a character recognition step that uses machine learning. While this approach has been effective against particular… CONTINUE READING
