Abstract

See full text

A character recongintion device has a subdivider, a features calculator and a character code recognition device. Image data for a single character area is extracted from scanned character image data and input to the subdivider. This subdivider divides the image data for the single character area into subregions. The features calculator calculates quantified features in each subregion based on a degree of resemblance between a template and image data in the subregions. When the features of each subregion are calculated for all subregions constituting the single character area, a character code corresponding to the scanned character image data is recognized by the character code recognition device based on the quantified features of each of all subregions.
