  Abstract

The sub-image matching problem, in which one image contains some part of the other image, has been mostly investigated on natural images. In this paper, we propose two sub-image matching techniques : mesh-based method and correlation-based method, that are efficiently used to match text images. Mash-based method consists of two stages, box alignment and similarity measurement by extracting the mesh feature from the two images. Correlation-based method determines the similarity using the correlation of the two imaged based on FFT function. We have applied the two methods to the text verification in a postal automation system and observed that the accuracy correlation-based method is 92.7% while that of mesh-based method is 90.1%.
