ABSTRACT:
A character recognition method comprising the following steps: (1) acquiring a two dimensional array of pixels, (2) locating an unknown character in the two dimensional array, (3) computing weighted correlation coefficients between the unknown character and a trained set of characters (i.e. a font), (4) recognizing the unknown character as the trained character with the highest weighted correlation coefficient above a threshold. The weights in the correlation calculations are adjusted to place more emphasis on those areas of a trained character that distinguishes it from all other trained characters in the training set. A method for optimally adjusting these weights is described herein.
