Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remove a ruled line at high speed and to restore a character part erased together at high speed by detecting the black run of a lateral ruled line and storing it as a run length table for each longitudinal position. SOLUTION: The black run is detected from an image area and for each longitudinal position of the detected black run, the run length table composed of a lateral starting point and a length from the starting point is prepared (S1). The black run of the length equal to or greater than a threshold value is selected and removed from an image (S2). Residual noise with the mark of the ruled line is erased (S3). Two components having possibility to be longitudinally divided by removal are simply coupled (S4). The erased black run is reproduced on the image in the same size as an input image (S5). ANDed for each pixel and only the erased character part overlapped with the ruled line is left (S6). The ruled line removed image and the erased black pixel in the character part are ORed for each pixel and synthesized and a part erased together with the ruled line is restored (S7).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the burden of an operator by displaying character images similar in letter shape whose typefaces are similar collectively in a confirmation screen where the character images in the same category are arranged, thereby improving the operation efficiency of confirming/correcting recognition results by the operator. SOLUTION: This output mechanism of a character recognition device is provided with: a category classifying part 20 for classifying the image data of characters being the target of the character recognition processing for every character(category) recognized by the character recognition processing; a clustering processing part 30 for calculating featured values related with the shapes of the characters included in the image data in each category classified by the category classifying part 20, and for classifying the image data into one or more clusters based on the featured values; and a picture generating part 50 for generating and displaying the confirmation picture on which the image data are displayed for every cluster classified by the clustering processing part 30.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve the recognition rate of the pattern recognizing device which uses the neural network. CONSTITUTION:The section (0,1) of output of the neural network is equally divided into M (M: integer larger than 2) and the number or frequencies of correct answer and wrong answer pattern data included in an (i)th section [(i-1)/M, i/M] are denoted as mu1i and mu0i (where i=1 to M). At this time, when this netowrk grants an output included in the (i)th section for unknown pattern data, the likelihood P1i that this pattern is in this category is stored as an equation P1i=(mu1i+1)/(mu1i+mu01+2) and a likelihood conversion table to be outputted. Then a likelihood converter inputs a value included in the (i)th section [(i-1)/M, i/M] when it is outputted from the neural network and outputs P1i as what is called normalized likelihood.
