Research from the faculty of engineering Mie University. These reports are published in English. In this survey, the author will provide a brief review of some of the recent and relevant contributions to the field of automated address reading for Postal Service applications. Literatures in the area of character and zip code segmentation, character recognition, and contextual processing are surveyed. Critical issues and future tasks are identified and discussed based on the survey.
Thinned images are one pixel thick and topologically equivalent to the original images.
By a character recognition experiment, these thinning algorithms obtain the better result than other two representative algorithms in the form of the result images, and the processing time and the recognition rate. Abstract Inhomogeneous stress and strain distributions in the crystal grain component embedded in the polycrystal structure and their development were estimated numerically by using a 2-D finite element model of polycrystal based on the crystal plasticity. The micro-macro transition in the plastic deformation of polycrystalline metal is discussed by using the numerical results. Those factors were examined using the simulated-HAZ specimen. Charpy impact test was carried out on the tempered specimen.
