Abstract
Recently, the character recognization technique is strongly needed to enable the mobile communication devices with cameras to gather input information from the users. In general, it is not easy to reuse a CBOCR(Camera Based Optical Character Recognizer) module because of its dependency on a specific platform. In this paper, we propose a software architecture for CBOCR module providing the easy adaptability to various mobile communication platforms. The proposed architecture is composed of the platform dependency support layer, the interface layer, the engine support layer, and the engine layer. The engine layer adopts a plug-in data structure to support various hardware endian policies. We show the effectiveness of the proposed method by applying the architecture to a practical product.
