Abstract
A method for recognizing characters in an image includes receiving the image containing characters to be recognized and analyzing the received image. A first portion of the received image is compared to a set of patterns to determine a first coincidence value for each pattern in the set of patterns and a first series of hypotheses is generated based at least on the determined first coincidence values. A second portion of the received image is compared to a set of selected patterns to determine a second coincidence value for each pattern in the set of selected patterns, where the set of selected patterns is selected based at least on the generated first series of hypotheses. Recognition of the characters is based on the first and second series of hypotheses, and an identified sequence of characters.
