Abstract

The authors present a hierachical system for character recognition with hidden Markov model knowledge sources that solve both the context sensitivity problem and the character instantiation problem. The system achieves 97 to 99% accuracy using a two-level architecture and has been implemented using a systolic array, thus permitting real-time (1 ms per character) multifont and multisize printed character recognition as well as handwriting recognition.
