    摘要: A method determines coordinates of a circumscribed rectangular frame for enclosing each character based on image data of character images in a recognition area. First of all, specified image data of a predetermined data unit in a transverse direction including at least one bit of black pixel are determined by scanning the image data. Thereafter, top and bottom coordinates of a circumscribed rectangular frame are determined respectively by searching respective image data located at the top and bottom positions among plural image data including at least one bit of black pixel located on the upper and lower sides of the specified image data, wherein respective bits of black pixel of plural image data are substantially continuously connected in a longitudinal direction, and then, leftmost and rightmost coordinates of the circumscribed rectangular frame are determined based on histogram data composed of either logical products or logical sums of respective bits in the transverse direction.

    摘要: A translation apparatus includes a translating device connected to an optical character reader for input. The optical character reader includes a reference dictionary stored in a first memory which stores a plurality of reference character strings of morphemes in a first language, each morpheme being identified by a unique address. A morpheme analysis device in the optical character reader matches an optically read character string with one of the morpheme stored in the first memory. A communication device transfers the results of the morpheme analysis, including morphemes and their associated addresses, to the translating device. At the translating device, the results from the morpheme analysis are used to translate the optically read character string to a second language by accessing a second memory. The second memory is addressed identically to that of the first memory.

    摘要: A method for determining lines of character images in a recognition area for use in an optical character reader. In the line determining method, the character images in the recognition area are read by an image scanner so as to obtain image data of the character images in the recognition area. A circumscribed rectangular frame for enclosing each character is then determined based on the obtained image data so as to obtain coordinates of the circumscribed rectangular frame. Thereafter, circumscribed rectangular frames adjacent in a direction of the lines to each circumscribed rectangular frame are determined so as to obtain a connection relationship between the circumscribed rectangular frames as seen from each circumscribed rectangular frame, and then, the lines are determined based on the obtained connection relationship between the circumscribed rectangular frames.

    摘要: In connection with the detection of an amount of movement of an image such as a document image having a small gradient of brightness, it has been difficult to detect the amount by a representative point method, and a block matching method requires much time. An image (F1) at a time (T1), which has been imaged by moving an imaging section (1), is taken into a memory (2) and a feature point extracting section (3), where feature points of the image (F1) are extracted, and an image (F2) at a start time (T2) of the subsequent frame is taken in the memory (2) and the feature point extracting section (3). A correlation operating section (5) operates feature points of the image (F2) and the image (F1) in an area designated by a search area deciding section (4) to output an amount of movement.

    摘要: A picture processing apparatus which can reduce matching errors and shorten a processing time for matching. In the picture processing apparatus, a binarization circuit individually binarizes a pair of object picture signals to generate line picture signals. A feature point extract circuit extracts a plurality of feature point pixels for each reference area in the reference side line picture. A transforming circuit widens a line width of the search side line picture. A correlation computation circuit, for each reference area, finds a correlation between each pixel within a search area in the line picture whose line width has been widened and the feature point pixels. A composition processing section composites the pair of object picture signals based on the correlations. A picture processing apparatus which can adjust density and color tone of two pictures to be composited. At first, the picture processing apparatus finds overlapping areas of the two pictures to be processed and finds typical values typifying distributions of density values of pixels in the overlapping area of each picture, respectively. Next, it adjusts overall lightness of the two pictures by multiplying the density value of each pixel of one picture by a ratio of the typical value of the other picture to the typical value of one picture.
