Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily eliminate unnecessary picture by converting the density of a variable density picture on the basis of two thresholds. CONSTITUTION:A picture signal picked up by a CCD camera (a) is digitized by an A/D converter (b) and is inputted to a binarizer (g). The binarizer (g) converts the density based on two thresholds to extract a processing object picture. The extracted picture is written in a picture memory (a) through a direct memory access device (f), and this written picture data and contents of a dictionary memory (e) are compared with each other by a comparator (d) to discriminate a character.

Description

In this case, if the agricultural images are handled directly, the amount of calculation will increase and the processing time will increase. In addition, visual g-sensitivity rarely requires shading information directly, and it is important to extract and examine characteristic information such as the shape and size of figures, the degree of bending of lines, etc. from the t-binary image.

処理対象となる画像には様々な濃度から構成されており
、その中から認識の対象となる特定の濃度値を抽出する
方法が必要とされる。
An image to be processed is composed of various densities, and a method is required to extract a specific density value to be recognized from among the images.

In Fig. 4(a), 31 is the density value of the input image, t is the darkness value which is the standard for binarization, and 32 in Fig. 4(b) is the density value of the output image after the binarization process. be.

従来の2値化処理は、入力画像をF=(flj)。In conventional binarization processing, the input image is F=(flj).

Through the above operations, all density values are separated into white level and black level based on the darkness value.

〔発明が解決しようとする問題点〕[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

従来の2値化方式は闇値以上の#度と閾値未満の11度
に分前しているため、処理対象となる画像が中間濃度で
あった場合、それ以上の濃度値の不用な画像を同時に抽
出してしまうといった問題を生じていた。
Conventional binarization methods have a difference between # degrees above the dark value and 11 degrees below the threshold, so if the image to be processed has an intermediate density, unnecessary images with higher density values are removed. This caused the problem that they were extracted at the same time.

〔問題点を解決するための手段〕[Means for solving problems]
