Flexible recognition algorithms and flexible OCR system

An optical handwritten numeral recognition system is presented which uses a G3 facsimile transceiver (fax) as the input device. Flexible recognition algorithms perform raster scanning of the Huffman code produced by the fax only once. The hanger-chain algorithms separate handwritten numerals and obtain the first features at the same time. All the recognition software is coded in Turbo C language. The system recognition speed is from 10 to 100 characters per second, and the recognition rate is from 95% to 99.5% depending on the sample.<
