Abstract

Abstract: A realignment algorithm for irregular character strings on color documents is proposed. Color documents often contain poorly aligned texts such as inclined or curved texts sometimes with distortion. In order to recognize them, we classified these texts into five types. After determining the type, we realigned all the characters in a text horizontally, then tested them with an ordinary character recognition method. Lastly, we showed some experimental results for texts extracted from real color documents and discussed some causes of misrecognition.
