IPC: G06K9/20
Filed: 2002-01-31
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the accuracy of character recognition by accurately removing a half-tone dot meshing for decorating characters.  <P>SOLUTION: The image of input image data is divided into a character area and the other area by an area dividing part 202. A half-tone dot meshing discrimination part 203 discriminates the presence or absence of a half-tone dot meshing in the character area. This discrimination discriminates a dot rectangle and counts the number of the dot rectangles by using information on the size of the rectangle, an aspect ratio, difference between longitudinal and lateral sizes, and the ratio of the number of pixels of a same color or considered to be the same color to the size of the rectangle after circumscribed rectangle connected to the pixel of the same color in the area is detected. Then the ratio of the total number of the circumscribed rectangles to the number of the dot rectangles counted in a dot counting process is compared with a threshold Th1 to discriminate whether the half-tone dot meshing is present or not. After that, the size of the meshing is identified by a half-tone dot meshing size discrimination part 204, and the half-tone dot meshing erasing part 205 removes the meshing based on the size of the meshing.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
