Abstract

A diacritical marker recognition system and method recognizes diacritical markers in a character image based upon an analysis by a neural network of the portion of the character image most likely to contain a diacritical marker. Once the neural network determines that a diacritical marker most likely exists in the character image, the system determines by using heuristics whether a diacritical marker exists or whether the character image appears to contain a diacritical marker which is actually a regular character.
