Embodiment 1

[0034] figure 1 It is a flow chart of the character segmentation method provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to character segmentation in the process of character recognition, especially applicable to character images with prior information, such as banknote images, license plate images, etc. The method can be performed by a character segmentation device, such as a device with computing and processing functions. Such as figure 1 As shown, the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0035] Step 110, binarize the character image to be segmented to obtain a binary image.

[0036] Wherein, the image of the character to be segmented may be an image whose boundary (upper boundary, lower boundary, left boundary and right boundary) of the entire character has been determined, and the method for determining the boundary of the character may use an existing method. The existing binarization method can be used to binarize the ima...

Embodiment 2

[0058] This embodiment provides a character segmentation method on the basis of the first embodiment above, and for character images to be segmented for which the overall character boundary has not been determined, the character boundary can also be determined by using the slope of the curve. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment adds the step of determining the character boundary according to the slope of the curve, wherein, the left boundary and the right boundary of the character can be determined according to the graph of the column number and the integral column sum, and the left boundary and the right boundary of the character can be determined according to the row number and the integral sum. The graph of determines the upper and lower boundaries of the character. In this embodiment, the repeated steps in the first embodiment will not be explained in detail, please refer to the first embodiment for details.

Abstract

The invention discloses a character segmentation method and device, equipment and a storage medium. The method comprises the steps that binarization is performed on a character image to be segmented so as to obtain a binary image; the integral column sum of each column of the binary image is calculated, wherein the integral column sum is the sum of the number of the foreground points of the current column and all the previous columns; a curve graph is established according to the integral column sum of each column; the character segmentation position is determined according to character prior information and the slope in the curve graph; and character segmentation is performed on the binary image according to the character segmentation position. The curve graph is established by using the integral column sum, and the character segmentation position is determined according to the curve slope characteristics so that the accuracy is high without depending on determination of the character boundary and the influence of noise is low; meanwhile, slope calculation is simple without complex operation, calculation speed is fast and the time complexity is low.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to image processing technology, and in particular to a character segmentation method, device, equipment and storage medium. Background technique [0002] When recognizing characters, it is first necessary to preprocess the character image, such as denoising, brightness compensation, edge detection, and tilt correction, etc., and then determine the boundaries of the characters and segment the characters to obtain individual characters for character recognition. Character segmentation is an important step in the recognition process and has a great impact on the final recognition result. [0003] At present, character segmentation is generally performed according to a preset segmentation template, because the character spacing is fixed, and character boundaries can be found manually based on known character images to determine the character spacing. Based on the left boundary of the character, character segment...
