INDICATIVE BODY RECOGNIZING DEVICE, INDICATIVE BODY RECOGNITION METHOD, AND INDICATIVE BODY RECOGNITION PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an indicative body recognition method, capable of recognizing efficiently an indicative body in a short processing time, by executing pattern-matching based on an image data and an indicating body pattern, and capable of enhancing the recognition rate.;SOLUTION: A matching means of an indicative body recognizer executes the shape pattern-matching with a matching area set in the whole area of the one sheet of image data, sequentially starting from the highest recognition rate of indicative body pattern. An indicating body recognizing means recognizes the indicating body existing within the matching area, based on the result of the shape pattern-matching. A recognition finish area deletion means deletes therein the recognized indicative body area as a recognition finish area from the matching area. A matching area setting means sets a residual area deleted with the recognition finish area from the matching area, as a new matching area, and repeats recognition processing for the indicating body by the shape pattern-matching.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
