The application discloses a line character fusion character string recognition method and
system for ancient book
optical character recognition, and belongs to the technical field of ancient book
digitization. The method takes an ancient book character string as a recognition unit, adopts a
transformer to model a global context, triggers a
single character expert
branch through a confidence degree guiding mechanism, and performs fine-grained
verification on low-confidence difficult characters. A visual-semantic-character shape
joint fusion strategy is combined to complete candidate reordering, and the recognition efficiency of high-frequency characters, the recognition accuracy of long-
tail characters, variant characters and complex character shapes are taken into account. The
system comprises visual coding, line-level recognition,
single character verification and candidate fusion modules, can effectively solve the recognition
bottleneck of large character sets and long-
tail distribution of ancient books, improve the fidelity and reasoning efficiency of variant characters, greatly reduce the manual correction cost of ancient book
digitization, and is suitable for large-scale ancient book
digitization scenarios.
