Methods and apparatus for detecting and recognizing graphical character representations in image data using symmetrically-located blank areas

摘要

Methods, systems and apparatus for detecting and recognizing graphical character representations in image data using symmetrically-located blank areas are disclosed herein. An example disclosed method includes detecting blank areas in image data; identifying, using the processor, a symmetrically-located pair of the blank areas; and designating an area of the image data between the symmetrically-located pair of the blank areas as a candidate region for an image processing function.
