Portable Text Capturing Method And Device Therefor

View page
US Patent:
6473523, Oct 29, 2002
Filed:
May 4, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/304659
Inventors:
William M. Newman - Cambridge, GB
Carl Bothner - Rochester NY
Ben S. Wittner - Marblehead MA
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT
International Classification:
G06K 934
US Classification:
382176, 382171, 382313, 34833312
Abstract:
A portable imaging device includes a user operable pointing device that operates together with interactive segmentation functions and an OCR application for capturing and converting digitally recorded images to text. The user operable pointing device permits a user of the portable imaging device to identify a region in an image with textual content. The portable imaging device evaluates whether textual and formatting content in the segmented region can be properly analyzed by the OCR application. In addition, the portable imaging device provides a mode for translating text identified in recorded images.

10/214291
Inventors:
William Newman - Cambridge, GB
Carl Bothner - Rochester NY, US
Ben Wittner - Marblehead MA, US
Assignee:

Optical Pattern Recognition Using Detector And Locator Neural Networks

View page
US Patent:
52395936, Aug 24, 1993
Filed:
Apr 3, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/680231
Inventors:
Ben S. Wittner - Hartsdale NY
Keith Loris - Brooklyn NY
Assignee:
NYNEX Science & Technology, Inc. - White Plains NY
International Classification:
G06K 962
G06K 920
G06K 934
US Classification:
382 14
Abstract:
A system for performing optical pattern recognition includes a first detector neural network for detecting the presence of a particular optical pattern in an input image and a second locator neural network for locating and/or removing the particular optical pattern from the input image. The detector network and the locator network both comprise nodes which can take on the -1, +1, or undefined states. The nodes are arranged in layers and each node in a layer has a location corresponding to a pixel in the input image. A particular application of this neural network is in finding the amount field on a check and removing the line which borders the amount field.
