    摘要: After an original image, including half-tone dot meshed characters are inputted and a prescribed process is applied to the original image, black pixel connection patterns are extracted from a target process area. If the density of the extracted pattern exceeds prescribed density, it is judged that the pattern is half-tone dot meshed and both the respective average values and standard deviations of the vertical/horizontal sizes of the connection pattern are calculated. Then, respective threshold values are calculated based on both the respective average values and standard deviations, and half-tone dot patterns are eliminated. Furthermore, a pattern, the outline of which is long compared with an included black pixel, of all the remaining connection patterns is eliminated as an unnecessary pattern. Lastly, projections attached to a character are deleted and character extraction is terminated.

    摘要: A multilevel image into which a color or a black-and-white image is converted is input, and a slightly indistinct binary image generating unit generates a slightly indistinct binary image that includes a slightly indistinct line pattern and does not include background noise. Additionally, a shape-preserved binary image generating unit generates a binary image that preserves the shape of a line pattern and includes background noise. These images are ANDed for each pixel, so that a binary image that preserves the shape of the line pattern and does not include the background noise is generated.

    摘要: A dictionary creating apparatus registers probability distributions each including an average vector and a covariance matrix, in a dictionary. The dictionary creating apparatus organizes plural distribution profiles of character categories having similar feature vectors into one typical distribution profile, and registers the typical distribution profile and the character categories to be organized, associated with each other, in the dictionary, without registering eigenvalues and eigenvectors of all character categories, associated with each other, in the dictionary.

    摘要: After a gray scale image extracting unit converts an input document image to a gray scale image, a multi-code image binary-coding unit converts the image to a binary image having a value in which each pixel indicates either a background area or a plotting area in the image, and outputs the binary image to a binary image recognizing unit. In the multi-code binary-coding unit, a partial area extracting unit extracts one or more partial areas in the gray scale image. A partial image binary-coding unit executes a binary-coding process for each of the partial areas in the gray scale image. A binary image combining unit combines one or more partial binary images and constitutes a binary image of the entire gray scale image.

    摘要: A document image tilt detection unit extracts a set of elements forming a character from a document image, extracts candidates for horizontal and vertical lines based on the character elements, estimates the reliability of each candidate for a line, and extracts a set of probable lines. Then, it estimates the tilt of the document image based on the arrangement of the character elements belonging to the line elements in the set of probable lines. A layout analysis unit extracts a set of lines in a fixed line direction from a set of basic elements forming the document image, and reciprocally performs the extraction of a column based on the correlation between lines and the extraction of a line based on the restrictions of the column. By providing the document image tilt detection unit and the layout analysis unit, the tilt of the document image containing both vertical and horizontal character lines can be detected, and lines and columns can be extracted at a high speed with high precision.
