ABSTRACT:
A program generator including: a character/figure separating device for separating characters and line graphics from an input flowchart image. A character recognizing device performs character recognition on the separated character portion and a figure recognizing device extracts symbols from the line graphics. A program code generating device generates instructions corresponding to the symbols and generates a program code by combining the generated instructions with the results of the character recognition that corresponds to the positions in which the symbols have been extracted. In the program generator, an image signifying the procedure of program processing which is composed of characters and line graphics, represented in a format easy for users to understand, is separated into an image in the character region and an image in the line graphics region and those images are subjected to individual recognition, with the results of recognition being combined to generate a coded program that is compatible with automatic machine processing. Hence, a desired computer program can be prepared by simple steps in a rapid and accurate way.
