Abstract

In this study, we developed a server-based mobile multi-lingual name-card recognition system which utilizes smartphone only as a terminal for capturing images of name-card and displaying results of recognition, running server as a recognizer of characters. For efficient processing and transmission of captured images, we corrected the distorted images, removed noises from them, and defined the socket-based protocol for wireless transmission of images between smartphone and the recognizer on server. Various tests for name-cards of five language types show increased recognition rate and speed of the developed system against conventional smartphone-based recognizers.

본 연구에서는 문자인식기술의 활용도를 높이고 인식률을 높이기 위해 스마트폰을 문자영상의 입력, 인식결과의 디스플레이, 영상전송을 위한 단말기로만 활용하고 서버에서 문자인식을 처리하도록 하는 서버기반 모바일 다국어 명함인식 시스템을 개발하였다. 인식 시스템에서는 스마트폰에서 촬영된 영상의 효율적인 처리와 전송을 위해, 왜곡보정과 잡음제거 등을 수행하였고, 인식서버와의 효율적인 영상전송을 위한 소켓기반 프로토콜을 정의하였다. 5개 언어의 명함들에 대한 다양한 실험을 통해 개발된 시스템이 기존 스마트폰 기반 문자인식기에 비해 향상된 인식률과 인식속도를 보였다.
