ABSTRACT:
In order to divide a dot pattern of touching characters having a thickness into patterns of each character without deformation, it is analyzed in the invention, as an ensemble of run continuations non-branched, continuations of neighboring `run`s, a succession of black dots ranged in a column being defined as a run. Some peculiar `run`s are nominated as segmentation candidates for dividing the dot pattern thereby, and the dot pattern of touching characters is divided by most appropriate one of the segmentation candidates.
