Abstract

A text classifying apparatus (100), an optical character recognition unit (1), a text classifying method (S220) and a program are provided for performing the classification of text. A segmentation unit (110) segments an image into a plurality of lines of text (401-412; 451-457; 501-504; 701-705) (S221). A selection unit (120) selects a line of text from the plurality of lines of text (S222-S223). An identification unit (130) identifies a sequence of classes corresponding to the selected line of text (S224). A recording unit (140) records, for the selected line of text, a global class corresponding to a class of the sequence of classes (S225-S226). A classification unit (150) classifies the image according to the global class, based on a confidence level of the global class (S227-S228).
