Abstract
Embodiments of methods, systems, and storage medium associated with processing of digital images including character recognition are disclosed herein. In one instance, the method may include identifying at least some components of a plurality of characters included in a digital image of content, based at least in part on comparison of a vector representation of each component with predefined component shape patterns; and determining one or more characters from the identified components. The determining may be based at least in part on evaluating the identified components using predetermined combination rules that define the one or more characters based at least in part on relationships between the one or more components in the identified plurality of characters. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
