ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a character recognition apparatus, which comprises a background discriminating section, a non-character line discriminating section, a first non-character line removed image creating section that creates a first non-character line removed image, which is an original image from which the non-character line is removed, a first character area discriminating section, an enlarged image creating section, a second non-character line removed image creating section, an interference judgment section that judges whether or not the character and the non-character line interfere with each other in the original image, a character image restoring section that restores the character image, a second character area discriminating section, and a character recognizing section that digitizes the character area recognized by the second character area discriminating section and recognizes the character, thereby characters written on a color form are recognized at a high accuracy.
