Removing black background/black stray straight lines from an image in python

I am trying read text from this image using Python with OpenCV that I have attached. However, black background in corners if this pic is messing with the text output and is giving wrong text.

I tried to used Adaptive Gaussian Thresholding in OpenCV using code:

import cv2 as cv
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
img=cv.imread(file_path,0)

img = cv.medianBlur(img,5)
ret,th1 = cv.threshold(img,127,255,cv.THRESH_BINARY)

th2 =cv.adaptiveThreshold(img,255,cv.ADAPTIVE_THRESH_MEAN_C,\
        cv.THRESH_BINARY,11,2)

**th3 = cv.adaptiveThreshold(img,255,cv.ADAPTIVE_THRESH_GAUSSIAN_C,\
        cv.THRESH_BINARY,11,2)**

titles = ['Original Image', 'Global Thresholding (v = 127)',
        'Adaptive Mean Thresholding', 'Adaptive Gaussian Thresholding']

images = [img, th1, th2, th3]

for i in range(4):
    plt.subplot(2,2,i+1),plt.imshow(images[i],'gray')
    plt.title(titles[i])
    plt.xticks([]),plt.yticks([])

plt.show()

The output of this code is also attached as AGT_result.

Kindly assist me to extract the words only. Thank you in advance.

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
