| Abstract(in English) | When reading characters printed on the background of fine patterns with OCR, the binarization process often fails and generates spike-like and/or line-shaped noise in the binary results, which makes the OCR reading accuracy significantly reduced. In this report, we proposed a pre-processing scheme that can effectively remove spike-like noise without altering the silhouette of each character in order to improve the OCR reading accuracy. The effectiveness of the proposed method was confirmed by applying the method to an open source OCR engine, named "Tesseract". |
