| Abstract(in English) | This paper presents a new method for character string extraction that works efficiently even for a complicated geographical map. The concept of multi-scale measurement is introduced to achieve development of an efficient string detection technique. The proposed method first merges small black regions within a certain area into a mass. The proposed method observes the change of a mass corresponding to the change of the size of the area, and searches for a stable mass as a character string. Because a stable mass may include small figures, a character recognition process follows to judge whether a mass forms a character string. If a mass is rejected, it is split into smaller masses according to the results of multi-scale measurement. These judgment and split processes are repeated recursively. |
