Abstract
A character recognition device includes a recognizer that recognizes at least one character string from an image including a trailer captured by an imaging device, an attribute determinator that determines an attribute of the character string recognized by the recognition unit, and a trailer ID estimator that estimate whether the character string is a trailer ID based on the attribute of the character string determined by the attribute determinator.
Claims9
A character recognition device, comprising:
- a recognition circuit that recognizes at least one character string from an image, the image including a trailer and being captured by an imaging device;
- and
- an ID estimation circuit that estimates whether the character string is a trailer ID based on an attribute of the character string,
- wherein the attribute is a writing manner of the character string, and
- the ID estimation circuit estimates a possibility that the character string is the trailer ID is higher when the writing manner of the character string is vertical writing than when the writing manner of the character string is horizontal writing.
A character recognition method, comprising:
- recognizing at least one character string from an image, the image including a trailer and being captured by an imaging device;
- and
- estimating whether the character string is a trailer ID based on an attribute of the character string,
- wherein the attribute is a writing manner of the character string, and
- the estimating estimates that a possibility of the character string being the trailer ID is higher when the writing manner of the character string is vertical writing than when the writing manner of the character string is horizontal writing.
