Abstract
A feature-based character recognition identification and confidence level are determined for an unknown symbol. If the confidence level is within an intermediate range, the feature-based identification is confirmed by matching the unknown character with a reference template corresponding to the feature-based identification. If the confidence level is below the intermediate range, template matching character recognition is substituted in place of the feature-based identification. If the template matching recognition identifies more than one symbol, corresponding templates from a second set of templates having thicker character strokes are employed to resolve the ambiguity.
