Description

Character Recognition Systems discusses character recognition, a process by which text-based input patterns produce meaningful output. Through the use of practical examples and theoretical concepts, the authors discuss feature extraction and selection, pattern recognition, as well as relevant issues such as the recognition of bank accounts, signature verification, and postal address recognition.
