  • Patent number: 9959473
    Abstract: In a symbol recognition device, each histogram computation module receives an image of each partial region of a recognition target region in a binarized image and computes a frequency distribution of pixels of a given color in each line or column in the partial region; each run length determination module receives an image of each partial region of the recognition target region and determines whether or not a line or column of pixels of the given color having a certain length is present in the partial region; a control module feeds pixel information of the partial regions, read by scanning the binarized image stored in the image memory, into the histogram computation modules and the run length determination modules; a determination module determines a symbol included in the binarized image based on computation results of the histogram computation modules and determination results of the run length determination modules.
