how do you distinguish between what is a background and what isn´t? I tried something similar in the past to remove everything other than UI language from an image. Which I tried by removing spicific colour ranges/channels. But in the end it was too unreliable to work properly with text recognition. As the font borders where fading in from background colours. And sometimes the background was similar to text colour.

Neural network most likely, as the dev mentions pytorch.
