Vehicular license plate (LP) recognition system has risen as a significant field of research recently because various explorations are currently being conducted by the researchers to cope with the challenges of LPs which include different illumination and angular situations. This research focused on restricted conditions such as using image of only one vehicle, stationary background, no angular adjustment of the skewed images. A real time vehicular LP recognition scheme is proposed for the skewed images for detection, segmentation and recognition of LP. In this research, a polar co-ordinate transformation procedure is implemented to adjust the skewed vehicular images. Besides that, window scanning procedure is utilized for the candidate localization that is based on the texture characteristics of the image. Then, connected component analysis (CCA) is implemented to the binary image for character segmentation where the pixels get connected in an eight-point neighbourhood process. Finally, optical character recognition is implemented for the recognition of the characters. For measuring the performance of this experiment, 300 skewed images of different illumination conditions with various tilt angles have been tested. The results show that proposed method able to achieve accuracy of 96.3% in localizing, 95.4% in segmenting and 94.2% in recognizing the LPs with an average localization time of 0.52s.

A reader usually spends a lot of time browsing and searching word meaning in a dictionary, internet or smart applications in order to find the unknown words. In this paper, we propose a method to compensate this drawback. The proposed method introduces a vocabulary upon recognizing a word or group of words that was captured by a smart phone camera. Through this proposed method, organizing and editing words that were captured by smart phone, searching the dictionary data using bisection method, listening pronunciation with the use of speech synthesizer, building and editing of vocabulary stored in database are given as the features. A smart phone application for organizing English words was established. The proposed method significantly reduces the organizing time for unknown English words and increases the English learning efficiency.

In this paper, we designed the aspheric lens by mathematical methods which are solved by refractive index. Based on these mathematical method, we manufactured the aspheric lens. Because of the usefulness of manufacturing, we used the acryl as the material. And we used a high speed machine to manufacture the aspheric lens. Also it sits in judgment the aberration of spherical distribution by using the grid fringe. Asource of laser produced by laser sheet generator passed the optical system of the aspheric lens. Though a character is to verify that the accuracy of the aspheric lens by experiment of the straight character.

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.

In this paper, we have developed page level input system of the character reading aid for the blind. Input toys)ems arse consisted with 512 pixels line image sensor, optical lento, digital interface for the computer and its control software. Input buffer size of the computer memory that for the single scanning of printed matters Image is 64kB. Image patterns of the reading characters which stored in system memory are converted to tactile character patterns that would be output to the bimorph tactile sensor by software control.

본 논문은 한영 혼용 문서에서의 문자 분할을 위한 효율적인 언어 인식기를 고안하였다. 한영 혼용 문서를 스캔한 후, OCR(광학 문자 판독, Optical Character Recognition)을 할 때, 문자 분할의 중요성은 상당히 크다. 인식 없이 문자를 분할하는 external segmentation 방법에서는, 인식할 언어가 한글 혹은 영어인가에 따라 문자 분할 방법이 달라진다. 그러므로, 한영 혼용 이미지를 인식하기 위해서 문자 분할을 하기 전에 언어를 미리 결정해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 문자 분할 방법을 효율적으로 하기 위한 언어 인식기를 제안하고 그 방법을 적용하였다. 그 결과 한영 혼용된 책 이미지에서 94.09%의 문자 분할 성공률을 보였다.

인쇄체 문자 인식에서 접합 문자는 주요한 에러 발생의 원인이다. 본 논문에서는 접합 문자를 분할하기 위해 두 개의 분할 비용을 정의한다. 첫째, 절단 비용은 한 패턴을 분할하는 데 얼마나 많은 블랙픽셀이 분리되어야 하는가이다. 둘째, 접선 비용은 분할선이 얼마나 많은 블랙 픽셀과 화이트 픽셀사이를 지나가는가이다. 폰트 분류기는 접합 문자의 후보 문자를 제공한다. 후보 문자의 문자 폭은 접합 문자를 분리하기 위한 기준선을 제공하며, 그 기준선 부근의 픽셀들이 분할 가능 영역을 나타낸다. 절단 비용의 최소값과 접선 비용의 최대값이 되는 지점이 최종적으로 접합 문자를 분할하는 위치이다. 이렇게 정의된 절단 비용과 접선 비용을 가지고 접합 문자를 분할하면 보다 정확한 문자 분할을 하여 문자 인식에서 에러 발생을 줄일 수 있다.

문자인식 즉 OCR(Optical Character Recognition)기술은 광학적으로 인식할 수 있는 문자를 컴퓨터가 읽을 수 있도록 하는 기술을 뜻한다. 문자인식의 근간이 되는 방법은 스트링 매칭 기법이 사용되어 왔지만 한글의 경우 자음, 모음, 자음 조합으로 만 가지 유형이 넘고, 더욱이 상용한자와 영어를 섞어 쓰기 때문에 오인식되는 경우가 많다. 본 논문에서는 한글이 수직선, 수평선, 사선과 같이 방향성이 강한 선소들로 구성되어 있다는 점을 이용하여 한글의 인식률을 높이는 방법을 제안하였다.

In this paper, we propose the method of a table structure recognition in various table types for document processing automation. A table with items surrounded by ruled lines are analyzed by detecting horizontal and vertical lines for recognizing the table structure. In case of a table with items separated by spaces, the table structure are recognized by analyzing the arrangement of row items. After recognizing the table structure, the areas of the table items are input into OCR engine and the character recognition result output to a text file in a structured format such as CSV or JSON. In simulation results, the average accuracy of table item recognition is about 94%.

The Manchu language holds historical significance, but a complete dataset of Manchu script letters for training optical character recognition machine-learning models is currently unavailable. Therefore, this paper describes the process of creating a robust dataset of extracted Manchu script letters. Rather than performing automatic letter segmentation based on whitespace or the thickness of the central word stem, an image of the Manchu script was manually inspected, and one copy of the desired letter was selected as a region of interest. This selected region of interest was used as a template to match all other occurrences of the same letter within the Manchu script image. Although the dataset in this study contained only 4,000 images of five Manchu script letters, these letters were collected from twenty-eight writing styles. A full dataset of Manchu letters is expected to be obtained through this process. The collected dataset was normalized and trained using a simple convolutional neural network to verify its effectiveness.
