Abstract(in English) Scene Text Recognition is one of the most challenging task in the field of the image recognition, recently. Several kinds of window-based schemes have tried to improve the recognition accuracy but it is difficult to improvethe recognition accuracy without increasing processing cost when a multi-class classifier is used for this task. Con-sidering this problem, the authors have proposed a novel approach that consists of two kinds of opearations: textlocalization and text recognition. In the proposed approach, text regions are detected by a two-class classifier, and then, a multi-class classifier is applied to determined what characters are included in the detected regions. However, a multi-class classifier requried for our approach has not been constructed yet. Therefore, this paper aims to construct a multi-class classifier suitable for the proposed approach by applying the Filtered Channel Features for the training process of a multi-class classifier. Experimental results using the ICDAR2013 dataset and synthesized images created by the authors show that the precision becomes high but the recall are not improved drastically.
