Abstract: A method is provided that includes capturing an input handwritten character with parameter representation for each stroke and applying a polygonal approximation thereto; assuming each polygonal line segment approximated to be vector that reaches an end point from a start point, and obtaining an angle between an axis that becomes a reference and each line segment as a polygonal line segment angle sequence; obtaining an exterior angle sequence of vertices of the line segments; making a sum of exterior angles of the same sign, where the same sign of plus or minus in the exterior angle sequence continues, to be a winding angle sequence; extracting a global feature according to each obtained sequence and a localized or quasi-localized feature in each curved portion divided corresponding to the winding angle sequence, hierarchically and divisionally; and performing character recognition by comparing the extracted result with a template of an object character.

Abstract: Provided is a technology capable of reducing parasitic capacitance of a capacitor while reducing the space occupied by the capacitor. A stacked structure is obtained by forming, over a capacitor composed of a lower electrode, a capacitor insulating film and an intermediate electrode, another capacitor composed of the intermediate electrode, another capacitor insulating film and an upper electrode. Since the intermediate electrode has a step difference, each of the distance between the intermediate electrode and lower electrode and the distance between the intermediate electrode and upper electrode in a region other than the capacitor formation region becomes greater than that in the capacitor formation region. For example, the lower electrode is brought into direct contact with the capacitor insulating film in the capacitor formation region, while the lower electrode is not brought into direct contact with the capacitor insulating film in the region other than the capacitor formation region.

Abstract: A processing terminal 10 includes a writing implement (ball point pen) 30. The writing implement 30 is provided with a tilt change detecting mechanism for detecting a change in a tilt with respect to a writing implement main body of a lead and a vibration detecting mechanism for detecting the change in the vibration of the vibrated lead at the time of handwriting. The processing terminal 10 produces handwriting motion information based on both of the detected changes in the tilt of the lead and in the vibration. A handwriting identification organization 20 compares handwriting motion information with inherent information stored previously to identify handwriting. Thereby it can achieve high reliability in an authentication system with a simple structure.

Abstract: An apparatus for recognizing visual patterns of handprinted characters or the like by means of an optical character reader which reads the patterns by a so-called outermost point method. While tracing the contour of the pattern stored in a two-dimensional memory, the distances from the starting point of the tracing and the integrated values of the coordinates of the points traced on the contour from the starting points are simultaneously obtained successively to extract outermost points for the series of contours. According to this outermost points, the contours are segmented into the convex line segments, concavity line segments and hole segments and the corresponding parameters of features of each segment are detected. Simultaneously, the convex line segment of which is shorter than a predetermined length is rejected and the remaining segments are subjected to matching operation in accordance with preliminarily prepared dictionary, thereby making a decision as to the pattern's identity.

The feature extracting method comprises a first step of equally dividing the image data of the input line drawing into meshes, a second step of obtaining a cell by integrating one or more meshes, and a third step of recognizing a cell pattern for each of cells which are obtained so as to form a graph in correspondence with each of the cells.

Abstract: A fish is bred in a transparent basin, into which water to be tested is supplied. A light source and a television camera are arranged in such a manner that images of the fish are taken by the camera as a silhouette. From the thus obtained fish images, the frequency distribution of the gravity centers of the fish images in the direction of the depth of water are obtained. The abnormality of the behavior of the fish is detected by comparison of the obtained frequency distribution with a reference distribution provided in advance.
