Abstract
A book electronization apparatus includes: a three-dimensional data generation unit that generates three-dimensional data; a two-dimensional page data generation unit that generates two-dimensional page data which has first points as points corresponding to ink and second points as values corresponding to a background; and a character recognition unit that recognizes a character by using the two-dimensional page data. The character recognition unit recognizes the character on the basis of a shape of a part of the character, which is generated by connecting the first points with one of the first points as an initial point in a partial region of a character region.
Claims6
A book electronization apparatus comprising:
- a three-dimensional data generation unit that captures an image of a book and generates three-dimensional data of the book;
- a two-dimensional page data generation unit that generates two-dimensional page data which corresponds to a page of the book in the three-dimensional data and which has first points as points corresponding to ink and second points as values corresponding to a background;
- and
- a character recognition unit that recognizes a character described in the page by using the two-dimensional page data, wherein
- the character recognition unit recognizes the character on a basis of a shape of a part of the character, which is generated by connecting the first points with one of the first points as an initial point in a partial region of a character region serving as a region of the two-dimensional page data corresponding to a region where one character is described in the page.
A book electronization method comprising:
- capturing an image of a book and generating three-dimensional data of the book;
- generating two-dimensional page data which corresponds to a page of the book in the three-dimensional data and which has first points as points corresponding to ink and second points as values corresponding to a background;
- and
- recognizing a character described in the page by using the two-dimensional page data, wherein
- in the recognizing, the character is recognized on a basis of a shape of a part of the character, which is generated by connecting the first points with one of the first points as an initial point in a partial region of a character region serving as a region of the two-dimensional page data corresponding to a region where one character is described in the page.
