A Parallel Processing System for a High-Speed Printed Document Recognition.
Kyungae Moon, Hyung Lee, Heejun Yoon, Jongwon Park · 1996
There is a long research for the printed character recognition algorithm which inputs printed documents through an image scanner, recognizes printed characters, and stores the ASCII codes of the characters. The recognition ratio of the algorithms proposed up to date is about 95%, but the recognition speed of the algorithm is 10s of characters per second. Therefore, faster recognition system is required for the libraries, research institutes, and universities where a large number of documents should be inserted to thgcomputer frequently. This paper transforms a serial recognition algorithm using a mesh feature for the printed characters into the parallel algorithm, proposes a parallel processor systkm and a parallel memory system for the parallel algorithm, and simulates the function and the performance of the system by using a CADENCE simulation program. 1
