Abstract

In collaboration with financial institutions and utility companies, we have carried out substantial research on document analysis and handwriting recognition. This paper describes our prototype which can differentiate between cheques and remittance slips, between English and French cheques, and recognize their contents. A new technique of sorting handwritten cheques and financial documents will be described. It is based on the detection of the structural properties printed on such documents. Handwritten numeric amounts are recognized by a multiple-expert system. These systems have been applied to read handwritten cheques and numerous financial documents with a great variety of backgrounds, colours, and designs in real-life environments. Their performance will be presented and analyzed.
