ABSTRACT:
A character recognition system including a method and apparatus for pre-processing handwritten characters prior to segmentation and classification is disclosed. The method includes the steps of forming one or more sub-regions each corresponding to a single character, accumulating the subregions to form an invalid region, and segmenting each character in the invalid region to locate said corresponding characters. The method is included as part of an apparatus for recognizing handwritten text.
