An Experimental Investigation of a Mixed-Font Print Recognition System

Abstract

This paper discusses an experimental study of a mixed-font print recognition system. With a program-controlled CRT scanner input, using 96 N-tuple recognition measurements with ternary minimum distance decision, the system reported is capable of reading a variety of type styles at a performance level which is quite acceptable for fair to good quality print. Performance is marginal for poor quality print. © 1966 IEEE. All rights reserved.
