Abstract

A method and apparatus for optical character recognition of dot text in an image are described. A plurality of dots that satisfy dot selection criteria are extracted from an image. A transformation is performed on the plurality of dots based on a first candidate distance between adjacent dots along a first orientation and on a second candidate distance between adjacent dots along a second orientation to obtain a transformed image including stroked characters. Model based character matching is performed on the transformed image to output a candidate string of characters.
