Abstract

The invention specifically relates to a method, device and system for accurately locating characters in an image. The method provided by the present invention includes: step S1, initializing the affine transformation matrix and character area distribution probability; step S2, performing histogram statistics on the pixel values ​​of the image according to the character area distribution probability; step S3, according to the histogram statistical results and The character region distribution probability iteratively updates the affine transformation matrix; step S4, updates the character region distribution probability according to the updated affine transformation matrix; step S5, repeats steps S2-step S4, until the first termination condition is met; step S6, The position of the character in the image is obtained according to the finally determined distribution probability of the character area. The method, device and system for accurately locating characters in an image provided by the present invention can achieve accurate locating results only by using histograms and regional locating matrix iterations similar to the optical flow method. The processing speed is fast and the locating effect is good, which can be directly applied to Low-cost module-side identification.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical character recognition, in particular to a method, device and system for accurately locating characters in an image. Background technique [0002] Character recognition under low-cost embedded modules needs to be precisely positioned for multiple characters (such as 5 digits) in advance, otherwise the actual cost of recognition cannot be solved. The existing technology needs to transmit the image to the host computer for precise positioning of the characters, which cannot meet the needs of precise positioning of the module side in various business environments. [0003] There are three main types of existing character automatic positioning algorithms: [0004] (1) Matching based on feature points: Calculate some fixed features of the character boundary area for feature point matching, calculate the affine matrix (Affine Transform Matrix) according to the matching, realize the affine transformation...
