In this paper,the extraciton method for individual and the recognition method for the printed dociments are discussed. In preprocessing is a technique to extract characters that are difficult to manage such as touching characters or overlapped chracters.Genrally in the existing segmentation methods,projection and edge detection are applied.However,in this paper an indvidual character is extracted by using connected pixel with one projection after the string extraction The maximum Blok Methld(MBM)is used for the recognition.The MBM is a method to enlarge the block to the last point the pixel that was found during projection. The maximum blocks are skeletonxied after the division into straight line block and oblique line block.Especially,in the recognition of chinese chracters compared to the existing method it showed improved recognition rate.
