Abstract
A minimum edit cost is representative of a cost of edit operations performed on a candidate string detected in an image to satisfy characteristics of a model string. An attempt to perform a minimum edit cost between the candidate string and the model string is performed. Upon determining that the candidate string includes a blank character at a first character position between two consecutive non-blank candidate characters, and in response to determining that there is a non-blank model character at a second character position of the model string and that the second character position is associated with the first character position of the blank character in the candidate string, an indication that the minimum edit cost between the candidate string and the model string cannot be computed and that the candidate string is not a match to the model string is output.
