Recognition of Cartographic Symbols
نویسندگان
چکیده
A hybrid (statistical/structural) approach is presented, for scaleand orientation-invariant recognition of multi-component cartographic symbols. A decision-tree classifier (DTC) is used to identify the shapes of the individual components of a symbol. Structural matching is then used to determine the type of symbol under consideration.

متن کاملCombining Sources of Evidence to Resolve Ambiguities in Toponym Recognition in Cartographic Maps
Graphical documents such as cartographic maps contain a great variety of textual elements appearing in different spatial positions, in different fonts, sizes, and colors, touching and overlapping graphical symbols. This greatly complicates automatic optical recognition of such textual elements in the process of raster-to-vector conversion of graphical documents. In this work, we propose a metho...
متن کاملError Detection and Correction in Toponym Recognition in Cartographic Maps
At present a lot of methods and programs for automatic text recognition exist. However there are no effective text recognition systems for graphic documents. Graphic documents usually contain a great variety of textual information. As a rule the text appears in arbitrary spatial positions, in different fonts, sizes and colors. The text can touch and overlap graphic symbols. The text meaning is ...

متن کاملText/Graphics Separation and Recognition in Raster-Scanned Color Cartographic Maps
A method to separate and recognize the touching/overlapping alphanumeric characters is proposed. The characters are processed in raster-scanned color cartographic maps. The map is segmented first to extract all text strings including those that are touching other symbols, strokes and characters. Second, OCR-based recognition with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is applied to define the coordin...
