Abstract

An image processing system and an image processing method for localising recognised characters in an image. An estimation unit is configured to estimate a first location of a recognised character that has been obtained by performing character recognition of the image. A determination unit is configured to determine second locations of a plurality of connected components in the image. A comparison unit is configured to compare the first location and the second locations, to identify a connected component associated with the recognised character. An association unit is configured to associate the recognised character, the identified connected component, and the second location of the identified connected component.
