Abstract

A character recognition system is described which incorporates a lens-and-retina input and a relatively simple computer. The system operates effectively with the image focused anywhere on the retina and may operate so as to be independent of image, size or orientation. The characters which may be unambiguously, discriminated are those which have distinct transform functions T. A simple algorithm is given for obtaining T for both curvilinear and rectilinear figures. Examples are given and possible means of resolving the ambiguities discussed.
