This paper describes the developed results of vision system for the recognition of material management characters, which was included in the billet image. The material management characters, which was marked at the surface of billet, should be recognized before billet moves to the next process. Our vision system for the character recognition includes that CCD camera system which acquire billet image, optical transmission system which transmit captured image to the long distance, input and output system for the interface with existing system and software for the character recognition. We have installed our vision system at the wire rod line of steel & iron plant and tested. Also, we have performed inspection of durability, reliability and recognition rate. Through the testing, we have confirmed that our system have high recognition rate, 98.6%.

In this paper, a new segmentation method of machine printed character string with arbitrary length is proposed. Character recognition requires character segmentation as a previous step. However character segmentation itself requires a character recognition capability for less error segmentation. It is necessary to attack both these problem simultaneously. It is proposed that a new recognition-based segmentation method, which recognizes a character in touching characters with help of defined side-profiles. The match of ‘side-profiles of touching characters' with ‘side-profiles of prototypes' gives single character candidates in touching characters. It segments touching characters according to cutting costs.

In this paper, we propose an on-line recognition system of chinese characters using an adaptive resonance theory-1(ART-1) neural network. Strokes, primitive components of chinese characters are usually warped into a cursive form and classifying them is very difficult. To deal with such cursive strokes, we use an ART-1 neural network that has the following advantages: (1) it automatically assembles similar patterns together to form classes in a self-organized manner: (2) it directly accesses the recognition codes corresponding to binary input patterns after self-stabilizing; (3) it doesn't tends to get trapped in local minima, or globally incorrect solutions. A database for character recognition also dynamically constructed with generalized character lists, and a new character can be included simply by adding a new sequence to the list. Character recognition is achieved by traversing the chinese datbase with a sequence of recognized strokes and positional relations between the strokes. To verify the performance of the system. We tested it for 1800 daily-used basic chinese second per character. This results suggest that the proposed system is pertinent to be put into practical use.

Currently, tire has a variety of information to know the information of the tire are displayed on the tire side. the market are marked with raised letters showing a variety of information relating to the tires. Such information enables people and tire related companies to distinguish between tires upon the information marked on the tires. Generally, people see the information including max press, manufacturing date, etc. Accordingly, studies on automated recognition of raised letters on tire by using image processing technology have been presented consistently. However, they lack a method for recognition of letters and improvement of the recognition. Moreover, the raised letters have been previously recognized through image processing. Further, to obtain the character recognition of a conventional side in video, it is suitably utilized the effects of lighting time of acquisition, so as part of the background and the character has a gray level values between approximately the same, is the part that is not relatively clear are many scattered. In this paper, we see the characters of the tire side using the laser sensor, recognition, was designed for character recognition of the tire side.

This paper proposes a new feature extraction method which is effectively used in character recognition, and validate the effectiveness through various computational methods for similiarity degree. To get feature vectors used in this method, Hough transform is applied to character image, which is used for edge extraction in image processing. By that transformation technique, strokes could be extracted and feature vectors constructed suitably. The characteristic of this method is solving the difficulties in stroke extraction through transform space analysis, which is induced by noise and blurring, and representing high recognition rate 99.3% within 10 candidates in relative low dimension.

This paper propose the new method witch is adopted in extracting character features and recognizing numeric characters using fractal dimension and modified Henon Attractor of the Chaos Theory. Firstly, it gets features of mesh feature, projection feature and cross distance feature from numeric character images And their feature hi converted into time series data. Then using the modified Henon system suggested in this paper, it gets last features of numeric character image after calculating Natural Measure and information bit which art meant fractal dimension. Finally, numeric 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 100% character classification rates for 10 digits and 90% of recognition rates in real situation and the recognition speed was 26 characters per second.

In this paper, to reduce misrecognized characters, we propose the new method that extract features from character to apply to the character recognition using features from character to apply to the character recognition using fractal dimensions and attractors. Firstly, to reduce the load of recognizer we classify the characters. For the classified character, we extract the features for Box-counting dimensions. Natural Measures, Information dimensions then recognize characters. With histogram, we generate attractors and calculate dimensions from attractors. Then we recognize characters with dimensions of characters and attractors. An experimental result that the overall recognition rates for the training data and testing data are 96.03% and 91.74% respectively. This result shows the effectiveness of proposed method.

In this paper, to provide the robustness of character recognition, we propose a recognition method using the dilated boundary curve feature which has the invariance characteristics for the shift, scale, and rotation changes of character pattern. And its some characteristics and effectieness are evaluated through the experiments for both the english alphabets and the numeral digits. The feature vector is represented by the fourier descriptor for a boundary curve of the dilated character pattern which is generated by the circular mask dilation method, and is used for a nearest neighbort classifier(NNC) or a nearest neighbor mean classifier(NNMC). These the processing time and the recognition rate, and take also the robustness of recognition for both some internal noise and partial corruption of an image pattern.

In case of off-line character recognition with statistical method, the character recognition speed for Korean or Chinese characters is slow since the amount of calculation is huge. To improve this problem, we seperate the recognition steps into several functional stages and implement them with hardwares for each stage so that all the stages can be processed with pipline structure. In accordance with temporal parallel processing, a high speed character recognition system can be implemented. In this paper, we implement a classification hardware, which is one of the several functional stages, to improve the speed by parallel structure with multiple DSPs(Digital Signal Processors). Also, it is designed to be able to expand DSP boards in parallel to make processing faster as much as we wish. We implement the hardware as an add-on board in IBM-PC, and the result of experiment is that it can process about 47-times and 71-times faster with 2 DSPs and 3 DSPs respectively than the IBM-PC(486D$\times$2-66MHz). The effectiveness is proved by developing a high speed OCR(Optical Character Recognizer).
