Abstract

See full text

Hand-written characters which have been turned to electronic data are input by input means, and fields of induction on the retina of the character image are calculated by field of induction estimating means. By using the fields of induction on the retina generated by the plurality of characters thus calculated, character region of each character is determined by character segmentation means, and individual characters are segmented from an array of characters. The field of induction on the retina of the segmented character is deformed to be matched with a field of induction on the retina of a character prepared in advance as a dictionary, and based on the magnitude of strain generated at the time of this deformation, difference between the fields of induction on the retina of different characters is evaluated quantitatively, and character recognition is carried out based on this estimation.
