Abstract

A hierarchical system for character recognition with hidden-Markov model knowledge sources that solves both the context-sensitive problem and the character-instantiation problem is presented. The algorithms and the structure of the system are described, and its operation is discussed. 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.
