Abstract
A computer-implemented method for recognising a printed character string is provided. The method includes receiving an image comprising the character string, the character string comprising a plurality of characters, determining a readability quality for each character in the character string and selecting at least one anchor character based at least in part on the readability quality of the characters in the character string. The identity of the at least one anchor character is determined using a character recognition algorithm and the identity of the character string recognised based on the at least one identified anchor character.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method for recognising a printed character string comprising:
- receiving an image comprising the character string, the character string comprising a plurality of characters;
- determining a readability quality for each character in the character string;
- selecting at least one anchor character based at least in part on the readability quality of the characters in the character string;
- determining an identity of the at least one anchor character using a character recognition algorithm;
- and
- recognising the identity of the character string based on the at least one identified anchor character.
A device for recognising a printed character string comprising:
- a processor;
- at least one memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions executable by the processor causing the processor to:
- receive an image comprising the character string, the character string comprising a plurality of characters;
- determine a readability quality for each character in the character string;
- select at least one anchor character based at least in part on the readability quality of the characters in the character string;
- determine an identity of the at least one anchor character using a character recognition algorithm;
- and
- recognise the identity of the character string based on the identity of the at least one anchor character.
