Modelling Character Legibility
نویسندگان
چکیده
The process by which humans distinguish visually between letters of the alphabet is a matter of considerable theoretical and practical interest. On the theoretical side, it is a classical problem in psychology, and has served as a test case for numerous theories of feature analysis and pattern recognition. On the practical side, it is relevant to the effective design of any textual display. Furthermore, principles discovered in the study of letter recognition may generalize to the perception of other types of displayed information.

Legibility Index for Examining Common Viewing Situations: A New Definition Using Solid Angle
The legibility levels of text and graphics can be assessed using the Legibility Index, conventionally defined as the distance at which material can be read with perfect accuracy (the legibility distance) divided by the character height. The ratio equals the inverse tangent of the visual angle subtended by the character. The definition assumes that the viewing material is perpendicular to the ob...
متن کاملA model of character recognition and legibility.
This article presents a model of character recognition and the experiments used to develop and test it. The model applies to foveal viewing of blurred or unblurred characters and to tactile sensing of raised characters using the fingerpad. The primary goal of the model is to account for variations in legibility across character sets; a secondary goal is to account for variations in the cell ent...
متن کاملLegibility of outline and solid fonts with wide and narrow spacing
Using a visual acuity criterion for legibility, outline fonts are about 82% less legible than their solid counterparts. Crowding effects are similar for the two types of fonts. Both sets of results can be adequately explained by contrast sensitivity of visual channels serving 1-4 c/character.
متن کاملUsing Optical Character Recognition to Identify Legibility of Non-western Languages
The purpose of this study is to see if it is viable to use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to determine legibility of non-western languages. The results will show that OCR can be used to inspect defects in order to waste fewer products. A large amount of waste is an issue in pharmaceutical printing due to the need for products to be one hundred percent accurate. Waste increases with non-wes...
متن کاملLegibility variations of Chinese characters and implications for visual acuity measurement in Chinese reading population.
PURPOSE Written Chinese contains an enormous number of characters with a wide range of spatial complexities. Consequently, the legibility of Chinese characters is expected to vary significantly, and this variability offers the challenge of deriving a simple visual function measurement for the Chinese reading population. The purpose of this study was to suggest a solution to the challenge throug...
