ABSTRACT:
A character recognition apparatus for recognizing characters in a document by sequentially detecting one-character portions of images in a document image and by recognizing the character images of the one-character portions detected. The character recognition apparatus includes a character detecting section for detecting an image of one character from the document image; a character recognizing section for recognizing the detected image of one character and outputting a character code; and a control section for effecting control such that the character image of one character recognized by the character recognizing means is stored in correspondence with the character code obtained as a result of recognition, a comparison is made between the stored character image and the image of a newly detected character, and the character-code stored in correspondence with the relevant character image is read as a result of recognition in a case where the similarity of the images is sufficiently large. Character recognition is effected in which a character image is detected from the document image, the detected character image is recognized, and the character code is outputted, thereby to sequentially recognize a plurality of characters in the document.
