Cut pictures how?

Question

Python

Dear colleagues!
The question arose with the cutting of words from the picture. Decided to try opencv.

# ОТКРЫВАЕМ КАРТИНКУ
    imge = cv2.imread(image_file, cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)
  
    # УВЕЛИЧИВАЕМ РАЗМЕР КАРТИНКИ
    scale_percent =  250  # percent of original size
    width =  int(imge.shape[1] * scale_percent / 100)
    height =  int(imge.shape[0] * scale_percent / 100)
    dim = (width, height)
    img =  cv2.resize( imge, dim, interpolation =  cv2.INTER_AREA)

    #РАЗМЫТИЕ ПО ГАУССУ
    blur = cv2.GaussianBlur(img, (5, 5), 0)
  
    #ВОЗВРАЩАЕМ В ЧЕРНО-БЕЛОЕ
    ret, thresh = cv2.threshold(blur, 61, 255, 1)

After the above manipulations, I get such a picture

. The next step is to cut the picture into words.
It only comes to mind to determine that there is a large distance between the black pixels, and to cut it according to the average value.
In words, it’s simple, but how to implement the darkness is not enough.
