Text recognition for portable device evaluates pixel information line for line, pixel for pixel to detect start pixel of character

摘要

Single image or series of overlapping single images are detected and stored with XY coordinates of each single image. Potential characters are detected using algorithm to detect local collection of black pixels. XY coordinates of potential characters are used for line detection. Then OCR recognition of recognized line and potential character in line is performed. Independent claim included for device to carry out text recognition.
