Abstract
Apparatus and processes are described for the automatic recognition of alphanumeric images. A set of cuts are made to the image which include incorrect segmentations. The resulting 'cells' comprising in their totality the created segments of the image are then analyzed to determine which cells are legal neighbors and which are not. All cells which are legal neighbors are then presented as connected nodes. A pruning of nodes which are related to certain predetermined image cuts is effected. Each set of remaining connected nodes is then presented to a recognizer which identifies the image and assigns a specified probability to the output. Many cells which are not legal neighbors are thereby not presented to the recognizer, thus saving substantially on computations per recognized image.
