Abstract

In this paper, we describe an approach for the problem of segmenting overlapping characters. We are working with digit segmentation for bank check processing. Our method is based on the idea of a hypothetical ball traversing the number. The inertia of the movement segments the overlapping digits. Rules are defined for this movement. Our initial proposal achieved very good results with O(n2) complexity.
