CHARACTER RECOGNITION METHOD AND DEVICE

摘要

A character recognition method includes the following steps: a location step for acquiring an image and locating a character region of the image, in which parts of the character region excepting a character form a local background; a background judgment step for judging whether the local background is a complex background; a determination step for determining the color of the character if the local background is the complex background; a construction step for constructing a selected region as a mask for the character by combining the color of the character and the character region; and a first recognition step for extracting the character stroke pixels from the character region by using the mask and recognizing the character, and outputting the recognition result. A character recognition device is further provided.
