<p>This invention relates to a character recognition apparatus for detecting a character represented by image data by extracting (406) a characteristic quantity of the character from the image data of characters and comparing (407) it with the characteristic quantity of the character stored in a dictionary (400). Before the comparison described above correction processing (408) to permit the enlargement/reduction of the scale of the image data is effected for the characteristic quantity extracted from the image data so that the scale of the character of the image data is in agreement with that of the character having the characteristic quantity stored in the dictionary (400). Further, processing (405) involving line thickening/thinning of the image data is effected for the image data so that the line width of the image data described above is in agreement with that of the character having the characteristic quantity stored in the dictionary (400).</p> |
