Traditional character recognition systems usually aim at characters with simple variation. With the development of multimedia technology, printed characters may appear more diversely. Existing recognition technologies can't deal with Hangul recognition effectively in diverse environments. This paper presents a recognition system for multi-form Korean characters called RSMFK, which is based on the model of Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM). Our system can effectively recognize the printed Korean characters of different fonts, scales, rotation, noise and background. HTM is a model which simulates the neocortex of human brain to recognize and memorize intelligently. Experimental results show that RSMFK performs a good recognition rate of 97.8% on average, which is proved to be obviously improved over the conventional methods.

In this paper we embody a system that recognizes printed alphabet, numeral figures and symbols written on the keyboard for the recognition of English sentences. The image of the printed sentences is inputted and binarized, and the characters are separated by using histogram method that is the same as the existing character recognition method. During the abstraction of the individual characters, we classify one group that has not numerical information by the projection of the vertical center of the character. In case of another group that has the longer width than the height, we assort them by normalizing the width. The other group normalizes the height of the images. With the reverse application of the basic principle of the Japanese Puzzle to a normalized character image, the proposed system classifies and recognizes the printed numeral figures, symbols and characters, consequently we meet with good result.

Recognition of characters printed or marked on the PCB components from images captured using cameras is an important task in PCB components inspection systems. Previous optical character recognition (OCR) of PCB components typically consists of two stages: character segmentation and classification of each segmented character. However, character segmentation often fails due to corrupted characters, low image contrast, etc. Thus, OCR without character segmentation is desirable and increasingly used via deep neural networks. Typical implementation based on deep neural nets without character segmentation includes convolutional neural network followed by recurrent neural network (RNN). However, one disadvantage of this approach is slow execution due to RNN layers. LPRNet is a segmentation-free character recognition network with excellent accuracy proved in license plate recognition. LPRNet uses a wide convolution instead of RNN, thus enabling fast inference. In this paper, LPRNet was adapted for recognizing characters printed on PCB components with fast execution and high accuracy. Initial training with synthetic images followed by fine-tuning on real text images yielded accurate recognition. This net can be further optimized on Intel CPU using OpenVINO tool kit. The optimized version of the network can be run in real-time faster than even GPU.

이 논문에서는 인쇄체 한글문자 인식에 있어서 신경회로망의 적용가능성을 알아 보았다. 한글 문자수의 과다와 그들 사이의 유사성, 많은 입력 영상 데이타 등으로 인하여 신경회로망을 한글인식에 적용시키는데는 많은 난점이 따른다. 한글 문자의 이진영상은 신경회로망의 입력으로 사용하기에는 그 데이타 수가 너무 많으므로 입력 영상으로부터 DC 성분을 추출하여 이것을 신경회로망의 입력으로 사용하기 위한 전처리과정을 두었다. 출력층은 한글의 특성에 맞도록 구성하였다. 한글인식에 도입된 신경회로망은 다층인식자이고, 적용된 훈련방법은 BEP 알고리듬을 한글인식에 적절하도록 변형시킨 형태이다. 이 방법을 통하여 정위치에 있는 2,300개 이상의 문자를 인식할 수 있었다. 이 결과로부터 신경회로망을 이용한 인쇄체 한글문자 인식은 적절한 방법임을 알 수 있다.

Chaos theory is a study researching the irregular, unpredictable behavior of deterministic and non-linear dynamical system. The interpretation using Chaos makes us evaluate characteristic existing in status space of system by tine series, so that the extraction of Chaos characteristic understanding and those characteristics enables us to do high precision interpretation. Therefore, This paper propose the new method which is adopted in extracting character features and recognizing characters using the Chaos Theory. Firstly, it gets features of mesh feature, projection feature and cross distance feature from input character images. And their feature is converted into time series data. Then using the modified Henon system suggested in this paper, it gets last features of character image after calculating Box-counting dimension, Natural Measure, information bit and information dimension which are meant fractal dimension. Finally, character recognition is performed by statistically finding out the each information bit showing the minimum difference against the normalized pattern database. An experimental result shows 99% character classification rates for 2,350 Korean characters (Hangul) using proposed method in this paper.

In this paper, we present a character recognition algorithm in printed korean and english documents including touching characters. We derived two rules to segment and recognize touching characters in the bilingual documents, one from the shape characteristics of korean and english characters of the writing blocks defined in this paper, and the other from the RF (reliability factor) values generated from the classifiers. Overall classification accuracy for the KITE paper of the proposed algorithm was about 96.8% for the english abstract, and about 97.8% for the bilingual parts. Also we confirmed the proposed algorithm significantly improves the accuracy of character segmentation of the actual mixed korean and english documents including touching characters.

본 논문에서는 한자를 포함하는 한글 문서 인식을 위한 인쇄체 한글, 한자의 구분과 인식 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 제안된 한글, 한자 구분 방법은 한글의 수직모음과 수평모음의 구조적 특징을 이용하였다. 한글은 6가지 형태로 분류하고 분류된 각 형태에 대하여 세선화 과정을 거치지 않고 모음 우선추출에 의한 자모분리를 행하고 분리된 자음에 대하여 변형된 교차거리 특징을 이용하여 인식하였다. 한자에 대해서는 획교차수의 평균치를 이용하여 전체 한자 대상문자에 대해 분류를 하였으며, 문자의 획교차수와 흑점비율 특징을 이용하여 인식하였다. 한글과 한자의 구분에서는 90.5%의 분류율을 얻었다. 한글인식에 있어서는 대상문자 명조체 2512자에 대하여 90.0%의 형태 분류율을 얻었다. 인식 결과 실험 데이타 1278자에 대하여 92.2%의 인식율을 얻었다. 한자인식에 있어서는 대상문자 4585자에 대하여 분류한 결과 최대밀집 구간은 124자로서 약 1/40 정도로 분류되었음을 알 수 있었고, 인식실험 결과 89.2%의 인식율을 얻었다.

This paper describes about the printed character segmentation and recognition system for slabs in steel manufacturing process. To increase the recognition rate, it is important to improve success rate of character segmentation. Since Slabs front area surface are not uniform and surface temperature is very high, marked characters not only undergo damages but also have much noise. On the other hand, since almost marked characters are very thick and the space between characters is only about 10 $^{\sim}$ 15 mm, there are many touching characters. Therefore appropriate character image preprocessing and segmentation algorithm is needed. In this paper we propose a multi-local thresholding method for damaged character restoration, a modified touching character segmentation, algorithm for marked characters. Finally a effective Multi-Class SVM is used to recognize segmented characters.

Recently, it Is required to develop OCR(Optical Character Reader) along with the progress of the information processing system for Hangeul. Characters have to be recognized clearly so that OCR can be applied, Structure analysis method and lump method are used for the recognition of characters, and OCR is now available for the recognition of printed characters and handwritten alphanumeric characters having simple structure by them However, It is known that there should be much more study on the development of handwritten Hangout's OCR. This paper proposed a new method for the handwritten Hangout character recognition. The units of Initial consonant of Hangout are separated and then recognized from the utilization of the position- Information of Hangeul's units from the normalized patterns using the regression line theory. It is carried out for the extraction of the block which exists in the virtual Initial consonant region from the normalized input patterns and the calculation on maximum value (${\beta}$) of likelihood after comparing the features of separated subpattern with the initial consonant dictionary.
