An image recognition system, in particular for document image recognition, using an imaging model employing a 2-dimensional finite state automaton corresponding to a regular string grammar. This approach is not only less computationally intensive than previous grammar-based approaches to document image recognition, but also can handle a wider variety of image types. Features of the imaging model include a sidebearing model of glyph positioning, an image decoder based on linear scheduling theory for regular interative algorithms, the combining of overlapping image sub-regions, and a least-squares estimation procedure for measuring character parameters from character samples in the image.
