Abstract
Character recognition apparatus capable of automatically modifying its recognition tree is disclosed. When a character is erroneously recognized, its image is used to select a leaf node of the character recognition tree which has a high probability of recognizing the character correctly. The tree is split at that node, creating one new leaf node which is assigned to the character formerly assigned to the split node, and a second new leaf node assigned to the erroneously recognized character. The split node is then assigned to test a pel address in a character image which has a high probability of discriminating between the two characters of its new leaf nodes.
