When a stamped character is painted over, it often happens that undulations and humps are produced on the character contour. This paper discusses a recognition method for such stamped characters. In order to make the method robust toward variations in the character contour, the contour shape data is constructed viewing the character from the circumscribed rectangle of the character. Then, the contour features inherent to the character are extracted after smoothing, to perform the recognition.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The method was applied to stamped and painted 1000 samples of ten kinds of alpha\u2010numerals and the recognition rate was examined. It is seen that the proposed method exhibits a higher recognition rate for all character types than the multiple similarity method. According to the experiment in which the experimental system based on the proposed method was applied to 3000 samples of 15 kinds of alphanumerals, the correct recognition rate was 99.8 percent. Although there were seven samples which were rejected, there were no misclassifications. Thus, the usefulness of the method was verified.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/scj.4690210403","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,19]],"date-time":"2009-11-19T23:20:29Z","timestamp":1258672829000},"page":"26-35","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A New Recognition Method for Stamped and Painted Alphanumerals"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Tomoaki","family":"Nakano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shin","family":"Yamamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Norio","family":"Takeda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","unstructured":"JISC 6250.Font for optical character recognition (alphanumerals).Jap.
