Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose a new method of mathematical formula recognition, robust against the recognition errors of characters and similar characters of different size. We improved the method which we proposed last year. The outline is as follows: We first try to classify all characters and symbols into some groups which consist of characters located on the same line. We next construct a network joining characters by possible links of relations with cost. Finally, we obtain the result of the recognition of mathematical formulas as the spanning tree of minimum cost of the network, reevaluated by the cost reflecting global structure.
