ABSTRACT:
A method for reducing an image of a character or word string to one or more one dimensional signals, including the steps of determining page orientation, isolating character strings from adjacent character strings, establishing a set of references with respect to which measurements about the character string may be made, and deriving a plurality of measurements with respect to the references in terms of one dimensional signal, amenable to identification processing techniques.
