  Abstract

In this paper, we propose a Korean character recognition method from outboard signboard images. We have chosen 808 classes of Korean characters by an analysis of frequencies of appearance in a dictionary of signboard names. The proposed method mainly consists of three steps: feature extraction, rough classification, and coarse classification. The first step is to extract a nonlinear directional segments feature, which is immune to the distortion of character shapes. The second step computes an ordered set of 10 recognition candidates using a minimum distance classifier. The last step reorders the recognition candidates using a Fisher discriminant measure. As experimental results, the recognition accuracy is 80.45% for the first choice, and 93.51% for the top five choices.
