IMAGE RECOGNIZING DEVICE AND IMAGE RECOGNIZING METHOD AND PROGRAM FOR REALIZING THE IMAGE RECOGNIZING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM RECORDED WITH ITS PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image recognizing device and method capable of obtaining a correct word, and realizing a high speed operation even when an error is detected in the character recognized result of the image.;SOLUTION: A character position detecting part 2 detects a character position in the input image from the image inputting and storing part 1. This character position is detected from a boundary between the character and background. A dictionary data 4 is registered with the corresponding relation of the character position in the image to a word to be displayed at the character position. A word retrieving part 3 retrieves the word in the dictionary data 4 having the character position information detected from the input picture. A result outputting part 5 outputs the retrieved result as the recognized result of the image. Thus, the result of the character recognition is not outputted so that the highly reliable word retrieval can be executed while being hardly affected by attribute information such as a character font. Also, the word corresponding to the image can be quickly obtained by retrieving the word not from a character code to be obtained by extracting a character string in the image, and operating the character recognition but from the character position information.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
