Abstract

See full text

A neural network based improving the performance of an omni-font classifier by using recognized characters for additional training is presented. The invention applies the outputs of the hidden layer nodes of the neural net as the feature vector. Characters that are recognized with high confidence are used to dynamically train a secondary classifier. After the secondary classifier is trained, it is combined with the original main classifier. The invention can re-adjust the partition or boundary of feature space, based on on-line learning, by utilizing the secondary classifier data to form an alternative partition location. The new partition can be referred to when a character conflict exists during character recognition.
