Abstract

This paper proposes a method for printed Chinese character recognition based on the area brightness feature, which is simple and has a low computational cost. It can achieve over 93% accuracy in recognizing printed Chinese characters equal to or greater than 10.5 pt which can meet the needs of certain situations (such as screen capture). The disadvantage of this method is its poor anti-distortion handling ability, and the recognition accuracy of smaller images still needs to be improved.
