| Abstract(in English) | An experimental business card recognition system is described that recognizes Japanese business cards of a wide variety both in formats and fonts.It also classifies recognition results into several predefined categories so that a business card database is built automatically.The overall procedure divides into a character recognition phase and a linguistic processing phase.In the first phase,the system gives a strictly local approach toward line segmentation to cope with slanted images.In the second phase, recognition result strings are analyzed and classified with the help of pledefined keywords,some geometric features and the system′ s built-in databases.Some experimental results are also discussed. |
