  • Patent number: 4910787
    Abstract: A video image of a region including characters recorded on a document is converted into electric signals. From the electric signals unit signals corresponding to subregions obtained by dividing the region is picked up. Horizontal, vertical and slanted stroke components included in each of the subregions are detected from the unit signals. The detected numbers of the horizontal, vertical and slanted stroke components are counted. The ratio of the counted numbers of the slanted stroke component to the total of the horizontal, vertical and slanted stroke components is calculated. The characters on the document is judged as handwritten ones and machine-printed ones if the ratio is above and not above a predetermined threshold, respectively. The threshold is preferably set at 0.2.

  • Patent number: 4831658
    Abstract: An optical character reader distinguishes between black and white image signals by comparing a center reader with readings from surrounding areas. Variations on the surface of a paper bearing the image can add or subtract values so that the comparison may be in error. The invention overcomes the problem by using logic circuits to add, subtract and compare signals out of a mask in order to improve the accuracy of the comparison between the center reading and the readings from the surrounding areas.

  • Patent number: 4771385
    Abstract: A word recognization system compares an input word with words stored in a dictionary memory. The comparison is made on a basis of the number of letters in the input word in combination with the first few letters in the word. The first level of selection is made on a basis of the number of letters in the input word. The memory locations of words are chain linked on a basis of the letters at the head of the word so that a reading of one memory location automatically leads to the reading of another memory location responsive to a comparison of the first few letters.
