Abstract: High-accuracy character recognition has not been realized for a document having a space between lines is narrow, a document in which line contact occurs at a plurality of positions, and a document in which a ratio of lines with line contact is high. Noises are removed from divided line images that are obtained by dividing a text image into line units, and the removed noises are added to a neighboring divided text line image, thus restoring the character image which has been divided into the plurality of lines. This realizes the high-accuracy character recognition.

Abstract: Character recognition processing is executed on a document image, and a candidate segmentation point is specified in a character string of a recognition result of the character recognition processing. In response to a user specifying a desired position on the document image displayed, a character string corresponding to the specified position is set as an output target and the candidate segmentation point is displayed. In a case where the candidate segmentation point is operated by the user, the character string set as the output target is changed to a character string obtained by segmentation based on the operated candidate segmentation point.

Abstract: In an information processing apparatus, character recognition processing is executed on a character string image including a plurality of characters, and a character string as a result of the character recognition processing on the character string image is displayed. When any character in the character string displayed as the result of the character recognition processing is selected by a user, a correction candidate character for the selected character is displayed based on a character string in master data managed in a database, different from the character string displayed as the result of the character recognition processing in a predetermined number of characters and in at least the selected character. When the displayed correction candidate character is selected by the user, the character string as the result of the character recognition processing is corrected using the selected correction candidate character.

Abstract: In an information processing apparatus and method, first information necessary for distortion correction is detected from a first captured image. Then, transformation information (transformation matrix) for use in coordinate transformation between coordinate systems of respective two different captured images is calculated based on feature points on the respective two different captured images. The detected first information is transformed using the calculated transformation information (the transformation matrix) into second information necessary for distortion correction on a second captured image, and the distortion correction is executed on the second captured image based on the transformed second information.

Abstract: An apparatus determines whether a reflecting portion that strongly reflects a light of a light source is included in a captured image. And a message for prompting the user to change the shooting method is displayed when it is determined that the reflecting portion is included in the captured image.

Abstract: A system includes a storage unit, a generation unit, a comparison unit, a determination unit, and an execution unit. The storage unit stores coordinates of regions included in a document and identification information of the regions. The generation unit generates regions to be subjected to character recognition in a newly-received document. The comparison unit compares the generated regions coordinates and the stored regions coordinates. The determination unit determines identification information corresponding to the generated regions coordinates according to the identification information corresponding to the regions stored in the storage unit and a comparison result of the comparison unit. The execution unit specifies a script for inputting, to an application, text information obtained by the character recognition performed on the generated regions in accordance with the determined identification information and executes the specified script.

Abstract: It is determined whether an instruction for initial activation of an application is issued by a user or an operating system (step S702). If the instruction is issued by the user, a splash screen is displayed (step S715). If the instruction is issued by the operating system, the application is to be resident without displaying the splash screen (step S704). If a user issues an activation instruction with respect to the resident application (step S705), it is determined whether a screen display based on the activation instruction from the user is a first time or not (step S706). If it is not the first time, the splash screen is not displayed, and whereas if it is the first time, the splash screen is displayed (step S707).
