[0014] Therefore it is an object of the present invention to provide fast and reliable methods to enable read and decipher characters on site. It is a fu

Problems solved by technology

The main drawback of this method, and several others in the field, which limits application considerably, relates to the limited number of identifying marks recognized and processed by the method.
Additionally, none of the systems in use today include a method for verification and control of the information retrieved to assess whether the identification is indeed accurate.
This lack of inspection and verification greatly question the credibili

Embodiment Construction

[0046] In the detailed description of exemplary embodiments which follows, the following terms should be generally be understood as specified in FIG. 1a unless otherwise specified:

[0047] Original image 14—the initial image captured and sent by recognition system to identification program. All identification steps and actions will be carried out on the initial image as will be shown later on. For example initial images of container code number pictured by container code recognition system. An example of real original image 14 of a container chassis is shown in FIG. 1b.

[0048] Candidate areas 3—areas, which possibly contain target area 1.

[0049] Characters 2—characters needed to be identified located in target area 1.

[0050] Data-Format 9 (not shown)—includes all data for initializing and processing original image.

[0051] ROI 11—Rectangle Of Interest, which contain characters only.

[0052] Target area 1—area that includes characters 2 needed to be identified.

[0053] SF 5 (Structure fo...

Abstract

A system and method, which enable precise and automatic identification of characters, perform and calibrate data verification to ensure data reliability. The system can process these identified characters, such as override adverse conditions, adjusting and correcting unclear characters and their images.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates generally to a method and system for providing automatic characters recognition. More specifically, the present invention relates to a multi-level neural network based characters identification method and system. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Systems based on character recognition are widely used in both home and office functions. For example scanners, which reads printed text and translate the image being scanned to a form of data, the computer is able to process (such as ASCII code, for example). Character recognition systems include an optical camera for photographing images, and sophisticated software for analyzing images. The arising need for identifying and analyzing text, characters or other signifying marks on a variety of products, vehicles and aircrafts led to the character recognition system expansion and the system being put to use in different areas of interest. [0003] An operative system at the entrance t...
