Problems solved by technology

[0007] 3. Matching and translation of dish names: Due to the large number of dish names and the constant innovation of dish names, it is not feasible to first establish one-to-one correspondence with dish names and translation dictionaries
In addition, because dish names are usually very short and do not have a fixed grammatical structure, the method of grammatical analysis and word segmentation is obviously not suitable for dish name translation

Abstract

A recognition and translation method of character image and a device are disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining one or a plurality of first language character image or video; detecting the character areas of each first language character from the image or video; recognizing the characters in each character area; dividing the terms formed by the recognized characters into one of a plurality of booked categories and adopting a translation rule corresponding to the divided category to translate the terms into a second language or more other languages; and displaying the translation result. By adopting the invention, the key characters in a natural scene image or video such as instructions in road nameplates, advertisements, bulletins, menus and the like can be automatically recognized and translated by a mobile terminal conveniently and rapidly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of image processing and pattern recognition, in particular to a method and device for recognizing and translating characters in related images and videos in natural scenes such as menus, road signs, announcements, newspapers, etc. Background technique [0002] Cameras have become the standard configuration of most mobile terminals. With the enhancement of the computing power of mobile terminals, the image recognition technology that can only be implemented on PCs before has the possibility of being extended to mobile terminals. For example, some mobile terminals are currently equipped with a business card automatic recognition function. Through this mobile terminal, images or videos can be acquired and processed conveniently, which greatly improves the automatic acquisition and processing capabilities of information. With the popularity of mobile terminals with cameras, it has become an urgent need to automatically i...
