Abstract

See full text

The recognition rate is improved when recognizing magnetic ink characters. The character recognition unit of a check reader scales and adjusts the waveform of the reference waveform data for each magnetic ink character referenced to a scaling point set in each character, recognizes the read magnetic ink character based on the difference between the reference waveform data after adjustment and the character waveform data, and when there are three peaks exceeding a specific level in the reference waveform data, sets two scaling points F1, F2 in the waveform of the reference waveform data and scales the waveform of the reference waveform data referenced to the two scaling points F1, F2.
