Abstract

In this paper, we apply the modified contour-direction features to speed up the recognition process of English characters. Since there are only twenty-six letters in English characters, the candidate-cluster selection stage in training is skipped. We then apply the modified branch-and-bound algorithm in the detail-matching module. Experimental results show that we can achieve almost 100% recognition rate with the slight effect from varying the character image sizes.
