Abstract
A pattern segmenting system for a pattern recognizing device, including a pattern memory for storing character information, means for reading out the character information from the pattern memory, means for detecting the start and end points of a subpattern in the character information and for calculating the center of the subpattern in accordance with the start and end points thereof, means for deciding whether or not the center thereof is within a selected character frame, and means for segmenting the subpattern when the center thereof is within the selected character frame and for regarding the frame as a blank when it is not within the selected character frame.
Claims8
A pattern segmenting system comprising:
- a memory for storing at least one information pattern;
- first means for reading out the information pattern from said memory;
- second means for detecting the start and end positions of at least one subpattern in the information pattern read out from said first means;
- third means for calculating the center position of the subpattern in accordance with the start and end positions detected by said second means;
- fourth means for storing the end position of a selected pattern frame;
- fifth means for detecting whether or not the center position of the subpattern is within the selected pattern frame by comparing said center position with said end position of said selected pattern frame;
- and
- sixth means for segmenting the subpattern only when the center position of the subpattern is within the selected pattern frame and for regarding the frame as blank when the center position of the subpattern is outside the selected pattern frame.
