CLUSTER STORAGE APPARATUS FOR POST PROCESSING ERROR CORRECTION OF A CHARACTER RECOGNITION MACHINE

摘要

A CLUSTER STORE APPARATUS FOR POST PROCESSING ERROR CORRECTION OF A CHARACTER RECOGNITION MACHINE A cluster storage apparatus is disclosed for outputting groups of valid alpha words as potential candidates for the correct form of an alpha word misrecognized by a character recognition machine. Groups of alpha words are arranged in the cluster storage apparatus such that adjacent locations contain alpha words having similar character recognition misread propensities. Alpha words which have been determined to be misrecognized, are input to the cluster storage apparatus. Numerical values assigned to the characters of which the input word is composed, are used to calculate the address of that group of valid alpha words having similar character recognition misread propensities. The cluster storage apparatus then outputs the accessed groups of alpha words for subsequent processing. The organization of the cluster storage apparatus minimizes the difference in address between alpha words with similar character recognition misread propensities by assigning high numeric values to highly reliable characters, as determined by measuring the character transfer function of the character recognition machine.
