Patent GB-1375992-A (GB)
IPC: G06V30/20
Filed: 1971-11-09
Abstract: 1375992 Character recognition systems PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 9 Nov 1971 [12 Nov 1970] 51966/71 Heading G4R In a character recognition system in which the character is stored in skeleton form in a matrix store the length of the character stroke elements is determined and those of less than a preset length are removed from the image. The stored character consists of stroke elements only one matrix image point wide. Each image point in turn is considered. For each such point a surrounding ring of points is inspected and the number of changes from an image point to a background point is determined (Figs. 4 and 5, not shown). The resulting number indicates the number of character elements leading from the point under consideration. In the case of a point which forms part of a single stroke element, for example, the number is two unless the point is at the end of the element. Thus the number indicates an end point (1), a connection point (2), or a junction point (3 or more). The number is associated in storage with the corresponding point. During a first search operation the numbered points are inspected to detect end points. When such a point has been found the circuitry is set to detect junction points. The end point is considered as though it were at the centre of a 3 x 3 matrix of points, for example, and the circuitry now inspects the 8 neighbouring points, except for those points which have previously been considered as matrix centre points. If a junction point is found the end point is removed from the image as it is hereby determined that it is merely a one-point appendage to the character image. When the point is removed the numbering of the junction point must be amended as it has now become, for example, merely a connection point. In another arrangement junction points are searched for. When one is found it is regarded as being at the centre of a 7 x 7 matrix, The points of the matrix are now considered in a preset order, Fig. 8 (not shown), in a search for an end point. If one is found it is necessary to determine the length of the portion of the character between the end and junction points to determine whether or not the portion is redundant. To do this the end point is regarded as being at the centre of a 3 x 3 matrix, which is then searched for a connection or junction point. If a connection point is found it is regarded as the centre point of a similar matrix and searched, as before, for a connection point. This procedure continues until the original junction point is reached. The number of connection points indicates the length of the character portion. If the number is less than a certain value the portion is assumed to be redundant and is changed to background.
