Abstract
Character data for a plurality of characters on which character recognition is being performed is received for processing. The character data includes character assignments and character locations. A reference location is defined in relation to a location of one of the characters, and the character assignments are resolved into one or more groupings according to a distance of the characters from the reference location.
Claims36
A method of resolving character assignments into groupings of characters, comprising:
- receiving character data for a plurality of characters on which character recognition is being performed, the character data including character assignments representing characters determined by character recognition and locations of characters;
- defining a reference location in relation to a location of one of the characters;
- and
- resolving the character assignments into one or more groupings of characters according to a distance of the characters from the reference location.
An article comprising a machine-readable medium storing instructions adapted to cause one or more machines to perform operations comprising:
- receiving character data for a plurality of characters on which character recognition is being performed, the character data including character assignments representing characters determined by character recognition and locations of characters;
- defining a reference location in relation to a location of one of the characters;
- and
- resolving the character assignments into one or more groupings of characters according to a distance of the characters from the reference location.
A system for resolving character assignments into groupings of characters including a processor configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving character data for a plurality of characters on which character recognition is being performed, the character data including character assignments representing characters determined by character recognition and locations of characters;
- defining a reference location in relation to a location of one of the characters;
- and
- resolving the character assignments into one or more groupings of characters according to a distance of the characters from the reference location.
