Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of sequencing character information in order to increase precision of character recognition. The method includes: a pre-processing that extracts character information from an image to binarize the extracted character information through a predetermined threshold and extracts and thins a center line of the binarized character information; normalizing the pre-processed character information to character information according to a predetermined criteria; and sequencing the normalized character information using structural features including an end point or a divergence point of the character information. The present invention suggests an angle normalization method of input character information, a structural feature position determining method, and a structural feature numeral string generating method to strongly recognize characters configured by various fonts obtained from a natural scene regardless of an angle or a size of the characters.
