Abstract

PURPOSE: To detect a character array direction, the most important information for character recognition, by checking position relations among characters by detecting printed character positions.
CONSTITUTION: Mail 1 is conveyed with its direction agreeing with a laterally-long shape and optically scanned by flying spot scanner 2, its reflected light is photoelectrically converted by photo multiplier 3 and quantized into a binary level by quantizing circuit 4, and array detector 5 determines a character array by this quantized character video signal. To check the array of characters, detector 5 detects a character block and measures the position, height and width of the block to find center coordinates. In this way, X and Y coordinates of the firstly-found block stored as the 1st array and at the point in time when all arrays of blocks are stored in sequence, a comparator compares the number of X-directional arrays with that of Y- directional ones, so that when character lines viewed from X coordinates are more than those videwed from Y coordinates, they will be judged to be lateral. In the reverse case, they are found longitudinal. Thus, the array direction is determined.
