Confidence Guided Progressive Search and Fast Match Techniques for High Performance Chinese/English OCR
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the past several years, we’ve been developing a high performance OCR engine for machine printed Chinese/English documents. In this paper, we present two innovative techniques that contribute to the high efficiency in recognition of the mixed Chinese/English text line. They are (1) a progressive search strategy based on character verification, and (2) a tree-based fast match technique with a confidence-guided adaptive stopping mechanism. The efficacy of the proposed techniques is confirmed by experiments in a benchmark test.

Improving Chinese/English OCR Performance by Using MCE-based Character-Pair Modeling and Negative Training
In the past several years, we’ve been developing a high performance OCR engine for machine printed Chinese/English documents. We have reported previously (1) how to use character modeling techniques based on MCE (minimum classification error) training to achieve the high recognition accuracy, and (2) how to use confidence-guided progressive search and fast match techniques to achieve the high r...
متن کاملJapanese OCR Error Correction using Character Shape Similarity and Statistical Language Model
We present a novel OCR error correction method for languages without word delimiters that have a large character set, such as Japanese and Chinese. It consists of a statistical OCR model, an approximate word matching method using character shape similarity, and a word segmentation algorithm using a statistical language model. By using a statistical OCR model and character shape similarity, the ...
