Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The character recognition method based on the Gabor filter bank belongs to the field of character recognition (referred to as OCR). Background technique
[0002] The traditional character recognition technology is based on the character image after binarization, so when it is applied to various low-quality images, such as low-resolution images, ID card images, car license plates, and natural scene images, due to the binary The character image quality after valueization is low, and the recognition performance is poor. Therefore, many techniques directly extract recognition features from grayscale character images. Generally, terrain features, gradient edge features, etc. are extracted by analyzing the gradient distribution of the gray image. These methods require the image brightness distribution to meet some specific rules, and the anti-interference ability is very poor; or use simple orthogonal transformation methods such as FFT and DCT. These trans...
