  • System and method for selecting and displaying segmentation parameters for optical character recognition
    Patent number: 9286534
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for selecting at least one segmentation parameter for optical character recognition is provided. The method can include receiving an image having a character string that includes one or more characters. The method can also include receiving a character string identifying each of the one or more characters. The method can also include automatically generating at least one segmentation parameter. The method can also include performing segmentation on the image having the character string using the at least one segmentation parameter. The method can also include determining if a resultant segmentation satisfies one or more criteria and if the resultant segmentation satisfies the one or more criteria, selecting the at least one segmentation parameter.
