Abstract

This paper presents a typographical analyses and classes. Typographical analysis is an indispensable tool for machine-printed character recognition in English. This analysis is a preliminary step for character segmentation in OCR(Optical Character Recognition). This paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, word typographical classes from words are defined by the word typographical analysis. In the second part, character typographical classes from connected components are defined by the character typographical analysis. The character typographical classes are used in the character segmentation.

본 논문은 활자 인쇄선 분석과 이에 따른 클래스 분류를 제안한다. 활자 인쇄선 분석은 영문 인쇄체 인식에 있어 불가결한 요소이다. 활자 인쇄선 분석은 문자 인식에서 문자 분할을 위한 전처리 단계이다. 본 논문은 두 부분으로 나뉘는데, 첫 부분에서는 단어 간 활자 인쇄선 분석을 통한 단어 활자선 클래스를 정의한다. 두 번째 부분에서는 문자 간 활자 인쇄선 분석을 통한 문자 활자선 클래스를 정의한다. 이렇게 정의된 단어 활자선 클래스와 문자 활자선 클래스는 문자 분할시 정확한 문자 분할을 위하여 사용된다.
