摘要

PURPOSE: A method for recognizing Korean character and English names and correcting an erroneous recognition is provided to compare the results output from a Korean character and English recognizers with each other, and then automatically correct an erroneously recognized result, when a Korean character name and an English name of the same person are provided on a document. CONSTITUTION: An image that includes the Korean character and English names of the same person is inputted and processed(S21). An image corresponding to the Korean character name is extracted from the inputted image, and the extracted image is subjected to a Korean character recognizer after preprocessing(S22). The Korean character name is recognized(S23). An image corresponding to the English name is extracted, preprocessed, and then provided to an English recognizer(S24). The English name is recognized(S25). A recognition result of English description, which corresponds to a candidate character from a Korean character name recognizer, is extracted from a conversion table, and thereby the erroneous recognition is corrected(S27). The Korean character and English names corrected are output(S28,S29).
