BINAERE REFERENZMATRIX

摘要

A binary reference matrix apparatus is diclosed for verifying input alpha words from a character recognition machine as valid linguistic expressions. The organization of the binary reference matrix is based upon the character transfer function of the character recognition machine. The alphabetic character stream for each word scanned by the character recognition machine, is mapped into a vector representation through the assignment of a unique numeric value for each letter in the alphabet. The vector magnitude and angle so calculated constitute the address data for accessing the binary reference matrix. The point accessed in the matrix will have a binary value of 1 if the scanned word is valid and will have a binary value of 0 if the scanned word is invalid. The organization of the binary reference matrix minimizes the size of the array needed for accurate verification by choosing numerical values for the alphabetic characters in an inverse proportion to the characters read reliability in the character recognition machine, as determined by the empirical measurement of the character recognition machine, character transfer function.
