Constraint Satisfaction Approach to Extraction of Japanese Character Regions from Unformatted Document Image
Summary :
In this paper, we present a method for extracting the Japanese printed characters from unformatted document images. This research takes into account the multiple general features specific to the Japanese printed characters. In our method, these features are thought of as the constraints for the regions to be extracted within the constraint satisfaction approach. This is achieved by minimizing a constraint function estimating quantitative satisfaction of the features. Our method is applicable to all kinds of the Japanese documents because it is no need of a priori knowledge about the document layout. We have favorable experimental results for the effectiveness of this method.
