PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method that allows accurate recognition of text blocks in objects in various capturing conditions.SOLUTION: A text block includes a set of characters. A plurality of images of an object are captured, and identified by extracting patterns in the object images and comparing the extracted patterns with predetermined patterns. Further, a boundary of the object in each of the object images is detected and verified based on predetermined size information of the identified object. Text blocks in the object images are identified based on predetermined location information of the identified object. Interim sets of characters in the identified text blocks are generated based on format information of the identified object. Based on the interim sets of characters, a set of characters in the text block in the object is determined.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 |
