IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240193975 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The image processing apparatus described in the patent application is designed to display a scanned image of a document containing handwritten characters on a user interface screen. The user can designate a character area within the scanned image, and the display control unit will insert a delimiter character in place of any printed characters or objects that may be present between multiple handwritten characters within the designated area. This allows for the display of a single continuous character string combining the recognition results of the handwritten character blocks.
- The display control unit allows users to designate character areas within scanned images containing handwritten characters.
- Delimiter characters are inserted in place of printed characters or objects between multiple handwritten characters within the designated area.
- The apparatus displays a single continuous character string combining the recognition results of the handwritten character blocks.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in document scanning and image processing applications to improve the recognition and display of handwritten characters.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of accurately displaying and recognizing handwritten characters in scanned documents.
Benefits: The technology enhances the user experience by providing a more accurate and seamless display of handwritten characters in scanned images.
Commercial Applications: This technology can be utilized in document management systems, OCR software, and other image processing applications to improve the handling of handwritten text.
Prior Art: Researchers can explore prior art related to image processing, OCR technology, and document scanning systems to understand the evolution of similar technologies.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers and developers can stay informed about advancements in image processing, OCR technology, and document scanning systems to enhance the capabilities of this technology.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the recognition and display of handwritten characters in scanned images? 2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond document scanning and image processing?
Original Abstract Submitted
the image processing apparatus has a display control unit configured to display a scanned image obtained by scanning a document including a handwritten character on a ui screen for a user to designate a character area in the scanned image. the display control unit inserts, in a case where a plurality of handwritten characters is included within a character area designated by the user and the printed character or the object exists between the plurality of handwritten characters, a predetermined delimiter character in place of the printed character or the object and displays on the ui screen as a single continuous character string combining character recognition results of handwritten character blocks corresponding to the plurality of handwritten characters.
